Linguini with Breadcrumbs and Kale by Hotplate Gourmet
Hotplate Gourmet made her ambitions very clear -- this linguini dish is to be a respectable weeknight dinner, something easy but good. Well, it's more than that -- we think it's terrific. Like an old Italian nonna, Hotplate Gourmet has you use the pasta water to help cook the kale and has you add breadcrumbs to the kale to fortify the pasta. You saute the breadcrumbs in oil, then add garlic and kale, and not too much of either. The garlic gently scents the kale and the greens add substance and sweetness, without making you feeling like you're eating kale for the sake of eating kale! You pull the dish together with some fresh olive oil and grated parmesan and you have a wonderful fall dinner. Next time we make this, we'll set aside the breadcrumbs after they've been toasted and add them back to the pan once the kale has been cooked. Their crunch is so great, you don't want to risk having them get soggy! - A&M

...all the oil disappears! The breadcrumbs get golden quickly -- be sure to watch them to avoid burning.

While Merrill browned the breadcrumbs, Amanda chopped the kale into managable pieces.

After adding the kale to the pasta, we added a bit more olive oil, and seasoned.

Thanks so much guys! Super cool to actually see my recipe being made! If you're wondering what the heck to do with the rest of the bottle of Pernod, there are a bunch of recipes here in the archives. Also, I recently used a tiny bit in Merrill's recipe for "Char, Fast and Slow" in place of tarragon and dill. It was awesome.
Dreamy!
Just made this for my afternoon after lunch/before nap snack. Had Rainer cherries, fresh mint from the garden, fresh lemon juice, Drambuie, and sweetened condensed milk. My Vitamix makes the most amazing 'snow' to absorb all that lucious goodness. I'm in love!

I'm going to do this with blueberries and Drambuie for this week's Blueberry Festival!
