1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 5-quart pot, cook sausage
over medium heat, stirring often, until browned, about 5
minutes. Stir in onions; cover, and cook until softened, 5
minutes. Uncover; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden
brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to
a large bowl.
2. Add kale and 1/2 cup water to pot; season with salt and
pepper. Cover; cook over medium-low heat, tossing
occasionally, until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain; coarsely
chop. Transfer to bowl with onions.
3. Meanwhile, cook noodles 2 minutes less than package
instructions. Drain; rinse under cold water.
4. Add noodles, tomatoes, and ricotta to the bowl; season with 1
1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Pour
into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; smooth top with a spatula.
Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until golden brown, about 40
minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
