This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less Parmesan cheese next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less red pepper flakes next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of kale, but this dish changed my mind. The kale was cooked perfectly and it had a great flavor. The sausage and Parmesan cheese rounded out the dish nicely.

This is now my go-to pasta dish. It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the way the kale wilts down and soaks up all the delicious flavors of the sausage and cheese.
