Menu Monday: Lemony Kale Pasta

Menu Monday!

Hope everyone's gardens are doing well in this crazy heat.

Another recipe for everyone that is still reaping a kale harvest!  This was such a simple dish to put together and doesn't take a lot of ingredients.





Lemony Kale Pasta
I got this recipe from this blog

For the Dressing
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
6 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Juice of 2 lemons
pepper, to taste

For Pasta
1 lb penne pasta
Large bunch of kale, washed with stems removed


Bring large pot to boil for pasta. Then, make the dressing.  Mince garlic cloves and add 1/4 tsp of salt to garlic.  Use fork and knife to make a paste out of the garlic.  Put garlic paste in small bowl.  Add in Parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and pepper.  Whisk together until combined.

Cook pasta in boiling water.  Chop kale into 1/2 inch ribbons.  Add kale to large bowl and pour dressing over kale.  Stir to coat the kale.  Pour kale and dressing over cooled pasta.  Serve with added Parmesan cheese over it.
