CREAMY KALE PASTA



Creamy Kale Pasta image

This Creamy Kale Pasta is fresh, easy, and DELICIOUS. Chewy bowtie pasta, coated in a light, salty, barely-creamy sauce, flecked with red pepper flakes and little bits of tender sautéed garlic kale.

Categories     Pasta

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup packed parsley
1/4 cup packed basil
2 tablespoons capers or pitted olives
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
juice and zest of half a lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces farfalle
2 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 stalks kale, stems removed, leaves chopped into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup white wine, reserved cooking water, broth, or any combination
lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan to finish (omit Parmesan if vegan)

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Pulse all sauce ingredients together until mostly smooth. (The sauce will be very salty. That's okay, it'll tone down once it mixes with everything.)
  • Prep the pasta: Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook down the kale: While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the garlic; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the kale; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the wine, water, or broth; let it sizzle out for a minute.
  • Finish: Add drained, cooked pasta and sauce. Toss to combine. Season to taste with Parmesan, lemon, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Fast, easy, yum.

CREAMY KALE AND PASTA WITH SWEET SAUSAGE



Creamy Kale and Pasta with Sweet Sausage image

I came up with this pasta recipe to incorporate kale into our diet. My husband had thirds the first night I made it and he is not a fan of kale (or anything green). Even the kids loved it! Enjoy.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 ounces gemelli pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 (3.5 ounce) links sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 tomato, diced
½ onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ bunch kale, thick stems removed, leaves finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups milk
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gemelli at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add tomato, onion, and garlic; saute for 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze browned bits. Add kale and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While kale is cooking, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, and drain pasta. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, for 1 minute. Pour in milk slowly while whisking vigorously to smooth lumps. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook until mixture begins to bubble and thicken, 7 to 10 minutes. Add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency as needed. Remove sauce from heat.
  • Pour sauce into sausage mixture, add drained pasta, and toss to evenly coat. Serve warm topped with Parmesan cheese.
