Prepare the ingredients: roughly chop the kale, onions and garlic.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook until it begins to turn golden brown. Stir in the garlic, onions and carrots. Cook for a few minutes longer.
Add the broth and pasta; cook for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the kale and beans. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes longer until the kale wilts and the beans are heated through.
