Background Story:

When I first came to Detroit I was a server at Pete’s Place in Ferndale. This was my favorite dish on the menu. Simple, flavorful and slightly spicy. Add more red pepper flakes for more fire.

  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 Pound Italian Sausage
  • ½ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Bell Pepper, Sliced
  • ¼ Pound Kale, Chopped
  • ¼ Cup Parmesan
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Cook Rigatoni per instructions.
  2. Cook Italian sausage, red pepper flakes, and garlic in the olive oil, over medium heat, until just cooked through.
  3. Add sliced bell peppers and kale, cook until still al dente, about 3 minutes.
  4. Toss rigatoni with sausage mixture.
  5. Stir in parmesan.
  6. Enjoy!
