Steps:
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving the water.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then pinch off 1- to 2-inch pieces of the sausage, adding it to the pan as you go. Cook for a couple minutes, flipping and stirring the sausage to brown both sides. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion has softened a little, a couple of minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir and cook until the sausage is cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Use a ladle to remove 2/3 cup pasta water from the pasta pot and add it to the skillet. Add the kale and cook until it has started to wilt, about 30 seconds, then add the pesto and cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring gently, until the sauce has thickened and the kale has wilted, about 3 minutes. If the skillet starts to look too dry at any stage, add a little more pasta water.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the butter, lemon zest, pasta and Parmesan. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve in bowls garnished with the fresh basil.

Steps:
- Make the pasta in boiling salted water, drain (reserve 2 cups of the pasta water if you're making the vegetarian version), drizzle with olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, toss and set aside.
- Sauté with olive oil or grill the sausages to put a crust on the outside, drain on a paper towel, cut into 1/4-inch rounds, then set aside. In a hot pan lightly brown the kale with the olive oil and remove. Add the shiitakes, shallots, and garlic, and sauté until lightly browned. Turn down the heat to medium. Return the kale to the pan along with the sausages, stock, and butter. Braise for 15 minutes. The liquid should reduce by half.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta, toss to coat with the sauce. Serve with grated cheese.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, local, and organic produce whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking sausage, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sausage from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to evenly distribute heat and prevent the pasta from sticking.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the ideal doneness of pasta, which is slightly firm to the bite.
- Don't rinse the pasta: Rinsing the pasta will remove the starch, which is what helps the sauce to stick to the pasta.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and oregano, can really brighten up a dish. Add them at the end of cooking to preserve their flavor.

Pasta with wild boar sausage and kale is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try!
