Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown, stirring often. Stir in the kale, shallots and garlic and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and reduce to a simmer. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

To serve, divide the pasta among bowls, top with meatballs and sauce, and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
