Boil pasta according to the package in salted pot.
Ask the hotline about this step!Process bread in a food processor until it’s about the consistency of coarse cornmeal.
Ask the hotline about this step!Heat ¼ c. oil in a frying pan and add the breadcrumbs. Once the breadcrumbs are slightly toasted and golden brown, add the garlic and continue to stir until well toasted.
Ask the hotline about this step!Add the kale to the frying pan with a little bit of the pasta water and sauté quickly.
Ask the hotline about this step!Toss the oil mixture with the drained pasta and add salt & pepper to taste. Add the rest of the oil as needed. Mix in parmesan and serve.
Ask the hotline about this step!I am too weak to go to the store, so I used seasoned Italian breadcrumbs and a new product at my store baby kale and the results were lovely. My opionated husband found this tasty too (no small task!).
This was pretty disappointing despite the reviews. I definitely added more kale and cooked it for longer than what the recipe called and thought that was a good call but overall it was bland. I would agree with another reviewer to keep the breadcrumbs separately from the kale to retain some crispiness.
This dish was very good and easy to make. To save time I used panko breadcrumbs and the results were probably just as good. Remove breadcrumbs from skillet before cooking the kale, otherwise your breadbrumbs won't be as crunchy. Could use other greens such as chard or spinach rather than Kale.
we had this for dinner last night and it was so wonderful! will definitely become a staple in our house! thanks for the great recipe :)
I feel bad because I seem to be the only one that didn't quite like this recipe. Maybe I missed something... I love everything in it but together, I found it a bit bland. I'll stick to my kale pasta recipe (pasta, kale, onions, garlic and a lot of feta).
I have some kale that needs to be cooked pronto - your recipe will be supper tonight! Looks like a keeper. Somehow I missed it when it first posted. Thanks!
Wow - this dish is delicious. I had some kale in the fridge and was looking for something interesting to do with it. I love the homemade breadcrumbs - makes the dish interesting. I also added some sundried tomatoes and green onions that I had in the fridge. Was perfect mid-week as a warm and delicious dinner. I love that the pasta is very hearty, without being heavy and rich.
This recipe looks wonderful. I've never thought of using kale in a pasta recipe, but I'm going try it.
I made this for dinner last night with panko and fresh baby kale from the garden. I should have used a lot more kale, but we're kale lovers. I LOVED the toasted breadcrumbs (I set them aside to them crunchy), but would up the garlic next time. Really good as written, but not award worthy for this kale-garlic family.
Made this last night and it was so easy and delicious. The bread crumbs really make it. Thanks, Hotplate Gourmet!
I added anchovies to the garlic and oil, a little lemon zest at the end, and topped each dish with a poached egg. Totally fast (and cheap) way to dress it up for guests.
My kind of comfort food...
The bread crumb thing is very southern Italy, call it "mollica" and add it to pastas, especially ones that have bitter ingredients such as rapini or other dark greens.
I used double the garlic, kale, and parmesan, and I used spaghetti instead of linguini. What got my attention about this recipe was using breadcrumbs and it was spot on. This was by far the most delicious pasta dish I've made in months!
Made this the other night. It was excellent. Kale is a nice change from Swiss Chard. Everyone loved it.
Pasta w/ kale is a standby of mine - but I never thought of adding breadcrumbs! Now we're talkin'! (I usually add walnuts)
my favorite comfort and fast food is pasta and something. I'm looking forward to trying this recipe out as it sounds like it will fit the bill for fast, healthy-ish and comfort food.
added dash of hot pepper flakes.
