1. In a large pot over high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add sausage, salt, and pepper. Sear for a minute on each side, then crumble and cook until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, leaving 1 tablespoon of grease in the pot and draining off the excess.

2. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, onions, carrots, and garlic. Sauté until tender, about 7- 9 minutes. Sprinkle flour on top and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

3. Gradually add 1 cup of broth, whisking constantly to create a slurry. Add the remaining broth slowly, whisking and scraping the bottom of the pot.

4. Bring to a boil, add pasta and cook per package. Stir occasionaly to prevent sticking.

5. Reduce heat to low. Add cream, kale, and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring well. Add Parmesan gradually, a few tablespoons at a time, to avoid clumping. Stir until melted, then add the sausage back in. Season with salt as needed. Add more broth for a thinner consistency, if desired and red pepper flakes to taste.
