Cheesy Baked Penne with Italian Chicken Sausage and Kale
A cozy baked penne dinner with browned Italian chicken sausage, tender kale, tomatoes, thyme, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
Italian chicken sausage is a lighter alternative to traditional pork sausage, seasoned with classic Italian flavors like garlic, fennel, paprika, parsley, and oregano. It works well in quick weeknight recipes because it brings built-in seasoning and savory depth to simple dishes. Use it sliced, crumbled, or grilled in pastas, soups, grain bowls, pizzas, stuffed peppers, and sheet pan meals. Mild Italian chicken sausage is great for family-friendly recipes, while hot Italian chicken sausage adds a spicy kick to tomato sauces, beans, and roasted vegetables. Because chicken sausage is usually leaner than pork sausage, it benefits from gentle cooking and a little added moisture or fat in skillet recipes. Pair it with olive oil, tomato sauce, broth, or sautéed vegetables to keep it juicy and flavorful.
