Angel Hair with Chicken Sausages, Tomatoes and Kale

Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Remove the casings from the chicken sausages and add them to the pan. Cook until browned all over, 6 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add a little more oil to the pan and toss in the garlic. Bloom 30 seconds. Add the cherry tomatoes and water (or oh, vermouth!) and cook the tomatoes for 3 minutes.

Add the kale, a pinch of salt and cook until the kale has wilted and pops in color, 3 minutes.

Add the chicken sausage back to the pan and toss to combine.

In the meantime, cook the pasta until it reaches al dente, and drain. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Add the pasta to the pan and toss to combine. Add enough reserved water to create a thin sauce.

Give a big squeeze of lemon juice over the whole beautiful mess. Serve a good helping with fresh parmesan shavings. And would you like more lemon? Of course you do.
