Directions
Heat a large non-stick Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add sausage and break up with a spatula. Allow sausage to cook for about 5 minutes or until it is no longer pink.
Push sausage to one side and add one teaspoon of olive oil along with the onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Combine sausage with veggies and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Add kale and chicken broth to the pot, cover and turn the heat up. You’ll let this cook about 5 minutes or so, until all the kale has wilted down.
In the meantime, whisk the flour with a ½ cup of pasta water. You want to play with this a little, adding some more water and flour until you have a thick, creamy, consistency.
Once the kale is wilted pour the “sauce” in and stir it all together. Stir in the cherries and the pine nuts.
Serve and top with crumbled Feta…Enjoy!!
