RAVIOLI WITH CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND KALE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning once, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Move to one side of the skillet and add the onion to the other side; season with salt and pepper. Stir together with the sausages and cook until the onion is softened, 3 to 4 more minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and garlic; cook until the tomatoes brown and soften, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the ravioli and stir well, then add 1/2 cup cooking water and the butter. Cook, tossing, until the ravioli are well coated and saucy, adding up to 1/2 cup more pasta water as needed. Stir in the kale to wilt, then remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan, basil and parsley; toss to combine.
