pumpkin & Kale Pasta Bake


INGREDIENTS: 
  • 1 tbsp of butter, ghee or olive oil 
  • 2 lbs. of Italian sausage (chicken, turkey or pork and remove casings) 
  • 1- 15 oz. can organic pumpkin 
  • 2 cups tomato marinara sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 4 cups of kale, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta, add more for serving if you wish 
  • 2- 8 oz. boxes of penne pasta (lentil, chickpea, or whole wheat) 

​
1.  In a large skillet on medium-high heat, add butter and Italian sausage, breaking apart as it is cooking.

2.  While meat is cooking, cook penne accordingly to packaged directions. Preheat oven to 350 degrees too! 

3.  After meat has finished cooking, add in the pumpkin, tomato marinara sauce, nutmeg and chopped kale.

4.  Stir sauce altogether and let simmer on low for about 5 minutes.

5.  Once pasta has finished cooking, drain and put into a large baking dish. 

6.  Add sauce and feta into the baking dish as well and stir gently together. 
​
7.  Bake covered for about 10-15 minutes and enjoy this AMAZING PASTA DISH!
