To buy
- 1 lemon
From your shelf
- 5 ounces Signature Select kale cut super greens
Staples
- 6 ounces pasta
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add 6 ounces of pasta, stirring once; cook until just tender, about 9 to 11 minutes depending on the shape.
- While the pasta cooks, mince 3 cloves of garlic and set them beside the stove. Warm 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the 5 ounces of kale and a pinch of salt, stirring often, until the kale is tender and any liquid has cooked away, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Taste the kale and season with salt and pepper. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
- Toss the pasta into the skillet with the kale and add 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water, stirring gently until the pasta is coated and loose; add more water if it looks dry. Squeeze juice from half the lemon over the top, taste, and adjust the seasoning.
Note Swap the kale for spinach or any greens you have. Leftovers keep in the fridge for two days and warm well in a skillet with a splash of water. Grate cheese over the top if you have it, and serve with the remaining lemon wedges on the side.
