We first started making this dish when I was bringing home a ton of kale from my garden in spring and trying to figure out different ways to use it. This simple and delicious recipe from Food52 quickly became a favorite.
Source: Food52
Servings: 3
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound linguini or similar pasta
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 slices of day old bread (you can also use store bought breadcrumbs if you would like, although it is not preferable)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 bunch kale, chopped
- 1/4 cup parmesan
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Method:
- Boil pasta according to the package in salted pot.
- Process bread in a food processor until it’s about the consistency of coarse cornmeal.Of course, you can skip this step if you are using store bought breadcrumbs.
- Heat ¼ c. oil in a frying pan and add the breadcrumbs. Once the breadcrumbs are slightly toasted and golden brown, add the garlic and continue to stir until well toasted.
- Add the kale to the frying pan with a little bit of the pasta water and sauté quickly.
- Toss the oil mixture with the drained pasta and add salt & pepper to taste. Add the rest of the oil as needed. Mix in parmesan and serve.
