Garlicky Kale And Mushroom Pasta Recipes

MUSHROOM KALE PASTA

Steps:

• Boil the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water and set aside.
• In a frying pan, add a bit of cooking oil (I used coconut oil) and sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms soften, about 8-10 minutes.
• Add a bit more cooking oil along with the chopped kale and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until kale begins to wilt.
• Add in the cooked pasta and mix together.
• Remove the frying pan from heat. Add 2 Tbsp more cooking oil and 1 cup parmesan cheese. Toss together until cheese melts. Sprinkle last ¼ cup parmesan on top of the dish and serve.

KALE AND MUSHROOM SIDE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and garlic in hot oil until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add butter and vinegar to the mushroom mixture; season with salt and pepper. Toss mushroom mixture in the wok until the butter melts and coats everything, about 1 minute.
• Switch heat off and add kale to the wok; cook and stir in the hot wok until the kale is bright green, about 5 minutes. Season kale mixture with nutmeg and stir.

PASTA WITH GARLICKY GREENS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the leeks and garlic and let them soften for 15 mins. Stir in the spinach or kale for final few mins to wilt. Add the crème fraîche, stir and remove from the heat.
• Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling water. Drain the pasta, put it back in its saucepan, then stir the leek sauce into it. Serve in bowls with crumbled blue cheese on top.
