Description
Indulge in the rich, creamy flavors of this Italian Zuppa Toscana Casserole – a comforting and satisfying dish that’s perfect for the whole family.
Ingredients
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups heavy cream
4 cups chopped kale
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned, 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Add the onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and kale. Simmer for 5 minutes more.
6. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with the cooked sausage and Parmesan cheese.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the recipe. You can also use Italian sausage links and slice them before cooking.
