Made with Soysage, this is an amalgamation of a couple of different recipes to make an easy, fast vegetarian main course. I use Lightlife Smart Sausages - Italian Style. Note, recipe does use butter and cheese so it is not vegan. Also, feel free to adjust spices to your liking. Ingredients:
8 ounces dried whole wheat pasta |
1 bunch fresh kale, base of stems removed and finely chopped |
1 (12 ounce) package vegetarian sausages |
2 tablespoons cooking oil, divided |
3 tablespoons butter, divided |
1/3 cup carrot, peeled and diced |
1/3 cup green pepper, diced |
1/3 cup onion, diced |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
1 tablespoon italian seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup vegetable broth |
2 tablespoons cooking sherry or 2 tablespoons white wine |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package instructions and put aside, keeping warm.
2. Heat 1 tablespoons Oil and 1 tablespoons Butter in a large saute pan over medium high heat.
3. Cook Sausage, moving frequently, until well browned.
4. Remove Sausage from pan.
5. Add 1 tablespoons Oil to pan.
6. Saute Carrots, Green Pepper, Onion, Garlic, Italian Seasoning, Salt and Pepper for 5-8 minutes or until onion becomes semi-translucent.
7. While veggies are cooking, slice Sausages into rounds.
8. Add Sausage rounds for last minute of veggies.
9. Add 2 tablespoons Butter.
10. Add chopped Kale and saute for 2-3 minutes or until Kale takes on a nice deep green color (Do Not Cook Until Wilted!).

13. Remove lid, reduce heat to low.
