# Creamy Kale Pasta

Cuisine: western · Time: 30 minutes · Servings: 3

## Ingredients

- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup packed parsley
- 1/4 cup packed basil
- 2 tablespoons capers or pitted olives
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (less if using table salt)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- juice and zest of half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces farfalle
- 2 tablespoons salted butter or vegan butter
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks curly kale, stems removed, leaves chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup white wine, reserved cooking water, broth, or any combination
- red pepper flakes, to taste
- grated Parmesan (omit Parmesan if vegan)

## Steps

1. Make the sauce: Pulse all sauce ingredients together until mostly smooth. (The sauce will be very salty. That’s okay, it’ll tone down once it mixes with everything.)
2. Prep the pasta: Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
3. Cook down the kale: While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the garlic; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the kale; sauté for 1-2 minutes until bright green and softened. Add the wine, water, or broth; let it sizzle out for a minute.
4. Finish: Add drained, cooked pasta and sauce. Toss to combine. Season to taste with Parmesan, lemon, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Fast, easy, yum.
