I just signed up for my first CSA, Home Harvest, this week! I am really excited about all that I received. The one I signed up for gives you to option to pick and choose what you want, so it is the perfect chance for me to try some new things!
Kale isn't a new veggie for me, but I just thought you would like to know what was going on in my kitchen.
I found this recipe on Annie's Eats and LOVE it. So yummy. I have had it a few times just to make sure I got good results every time and I did! Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
- ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (Confession-I used Kraft. It was still awesome)
- 6 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- ½ tsp. red pepper flakes (I like heat. Feel free to reduce this amount)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb. penne
- 1 large bunch kale, rinsed and dried, stems removed
Directions:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta.
- While you are waiting on the water to boil, make the dressing. Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle the minced garlic with ¼ teaspoon of the kosher salt. Smash the garlic into a paste with a fork or the side of a chef’s knife. (Confession time! I could not get this done to say my life. I tried my hardest, but still had some lumps. It was still good. :) Don't stress if you can't get it either.) Transfer the garlic paste, or your attempt, to a small bowl. Add in the Parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
- Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions. Chop the kale into ½-inch ribbons. Add the kale to a large bowl and toss with the dressing to coat well. When the pasta is finished, drain well and let cool a minute or two. Toss the pasta with the kale and dressing until well coated.
Enjoy!!
