Heat a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil.

Get another large pot and place over medium heat with some olive oil.

Once warm, add sausage, breaking up with a wooden spoon and is cooked through and crisp.

Transfer to a plate.

Once pasta water is boiling, add pasta and cook for 8 minutes, until way before al dente.

While pasta is cooking, add beans and red pepper flakes to other pot that sausage was just in.

Cook for 5 minutes and then transfer half of beans to same plate as sausage.

Using a measuring cup, add 1 cup of pasta water to the pot with beans.

Add pasta and kale to pot with beans and mix until kale is wilted and pasta is cooked to al dente.

At a little bit more water and grated Parmesan and mix until very well combined.

Remove from heat, add sausage, beans, lemon juice, and butter.

Mix well and add more pasta water as needed.

Plate and top with pepper and a little drizzle olive oil & enjoy :)
