Rach has been making this sausage recipe for decades. "It's just such a great, easy tray supper," she says, adding that she's shown it several times on the air, but it never gets old. At home, she serves it with one of several different pastas as a first course. This farro spaghetti tossed with kale pesto is one of her favorite combos.

For the roasted sausages and grapes, line a large baking sheet with foil and parchment paper. Add fennel, shallots, garlic and grapes and season with salt and pepper. Prick skins of sausages and arrange on bed of grapes with rosemary, dress all the ingredients with vinegar and EVOO and roast about 50 minutes to 1 hour until sausages are browned and fennel is tender.
For the farro spaghetti with kale pesto, bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with salt and add kale for 30 seconds. Remove to a towel-lined baking sheet using a spider or tongs, shock in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and wring or pat dry, then coarsely chop.
Place kale in a food processor and pulse. Add nuts, garlic, lemon, red pepper, pecorino, salt and pepper, then continue to pulse the pesto into a thick paste and stream in EVOO.
Cook pasta 1 minute less than package directions and reserve ½ cup water. Drain and return to the hot pot with butter and the water, add pesto and toss pasta for 1 minute. Transfer to warm serving bowl.
