📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the sun-dried tomato oil. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for ⏱️ 2 minutes less than the package directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
2
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil in the pasta pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until golden brown, 6 to ⏱️ 8 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for ⏱️ 1 minute.
3
Add the flour to the pot and cook, stirring, until incorporated, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add the milk, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring, until the mixture simmers and begins to thicken, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the parmesan and cook until incorporated, about ⏱️ 30 seconds.
4
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and kale to the sauce and stir to coat. Add the reserved cooking water and stir to wilt the kale, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and toss to combine.
5
Transfer the pasta to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and the remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan. Bake until bubbly and golden, 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes.
