Ok, so I know spicy chile, garlic and kale pasta is not your typical Easter side dish fare but just imagine it paired with roast beef, or lamb or turkey. Gorgeous color, fresh taste, loads of flavor. It just shouts spring to me. Best of all you have a delicious main dish for your vegetarian friends. Happy Spring everyone!
The key to this dish is Calabrian Chile paste. I love the Silanfunghi brand of chile paste and used to buy it by the case at NapaStyle, Michael Chiarello's store, and catalog. They are "rebranding" and not taking orders at this time, so I have found other brands on Amazon. I am pretty addicted to this sauce and always have a number of jars in my pantry. Try the chile drizzled on pizza, or eggs, or vegetables of any sort. It is spicy but not "stupid hot" as my husband likes to say. I shared a recipe this week for Sauteed Broccolini With Garlic and Chile On Toast over on my Napa Farmhouse 1885 blog. The broccolini also features the chile sauce. You should give it a try too.
Pasta with Kale, Garlic & Calabrian Chile
(serves 6)
6 oz kale leaves, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 cup pine nuts
2-3 heaping teaspoons Calabrian Chile Paste. ( I like the Sil brand)
sea salt
black pepper
grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
16 oz tubular pasta, cooked according to the package directions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Stir in the kale and 1 cup of water. Cover pan and allow kale to cook until crisp-tender. (about 4-5 minutes). Remove cover and saute kale until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, pine nuts and a pinch each salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons chile paste and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Add the hot, cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to combine. Taste and add the additional tablespoon chile paste if you want a spicier dish. Generously top pasta with cheese and serve.
