Another great CSA box week. Last night we had Kale and penne. The kale was sweet and delicious. This dish is best with a little extra stock on the bottom of the bowl.
About 6-8 kale leaves, case stems removed and chopped roughly
1/2 bag or box of penne
1/2 cup chicken stock
6-8 mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlice, minced
1 small onion, minced
olive oil
crushed red pepper
salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese
Boil a medium-large pot of water and add pasta. Bring a steamer pot to a boil and add kale. In a large skillet, saute onions, garlic and red pepper in 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil. Once the pasta and kale are done, drain pasta and add it to the skillet, add kale and chicken stock. Drizzle another Tablespoon or two of olive oil on top and add salt and pepper to taste. Cook 3-5 minutes until flavors are incorporated. Serve with Parmesan or asagio cheese. Serve in a wide pasta bowl.
Makes about 3 servings.
