Taste of Italy

Bring a little taste of Italy to your home this Fall!

Fall recipes are a big hit right now in our home and I am excited to start cooking them.

The littles enjoyed spending time in the kitchen snacking while I chopped.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian Mild sausage or Hillshire Smoked Saugage Link shopped
• 1 large diced yellow onion
• 1/3 lb. pancetta or bacon, chopped (optional)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 14.5 ounce cans chicken broth
• 1 quart water
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream (optional)
• 3 medium russet potatoes sliced in half, and then in 1/4 inch slices
• 2 cups kale, chopped or spinache
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1Tbsp. Olive oil
• Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat; remove sausage from casings and sauté until it’s nice and brown; use wooden spoon to break up into small chunks. Drain (excess fat) and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté pancetta, onions and garlic over medium high heat for approximately 8-9 minutes, or until the onions are soft; drain and set aside.
2. Place water and chicken broth in a large pot; bring it to a boil. Add potatoes, sausage and bacon pancetta to pot; simmer for 25-30 minutes. (you can cook less, I like my potatoes slightly overcooked, kind of creamy). Add cream into a pot and bring it a boil; season with salt and pepper; add kale and turn off the heat.
3. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

Happy Fall Y’all

Enjoy!
