Kale? It's been a while

Sausage, Kale and Cranberry Pasta that is:

1 lb Rigatoni
Salt
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1/2 lb hot bulk Italian sausage
1/2 lb sweet bulk Italian sausage (veggers can omit)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 med red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 C whole berry cranberry sauce
3/4 C dry red wine, eyeball it
1 1/4 lb kale, stems removed and chopped (rinse this well, I'm telling you now. I'm serious.)
Black pepper
1/8 to 1/4 tsp nutmeg to taste

*3 generous handfuls Romano cheese, plus some to pass at the table.

Boil lg pot of water and add rigatoni and salt. Cook al dente. Drain, reserving 2 ladles of pasta water.

While pasta cooks, heat oil in lg deep skillet med-high heat. Add sausage--brown and crumble it. Add garlic, onions, cook 5 min. Then add cranberry sauce and wine. Cook and stir to combine and reduce a minute.

Add kale in bunches and stir to wilt down. Add reserved pasta water and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. ( I love nutmeg in pasta dishes.)

Add pasta to pan with sausage and kale. Top with cheese and toss. Serve immediately with extra cheese.
