Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Cut the top off a head of garlic, drizzle it with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 20 minutes until soft.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Remove casings from bratwurst, crumble sausage into the skillet, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté chopped kale until wilted. Remove and set aside.
Cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 0.25 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
In the skillet, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins and mash them. Add butter, cream, and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened.
Add cooked pasta, sausage, and kale to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
In a small pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, add breadcrumbs, and cook until golden and crispy.
