In the same skillet, add another splash of olive oil and the onions.

Cook for about 5-8 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the mushrooms are soft.

Push the onions and mushrooms to the side.

Add the the sausages cook until browned, turning so both sides brown. Stir in the kale and cook until wilted.

Lower the heat and stir in a can of crushed tomatoes. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper to taste.
