Kale with Pasta and Garlic

Kale with Pasta and Garlic

Ingredients

1/2 lb spaghetti, or other shape of pasta
1/4 cup olive oil, more if necessary
1 head garlic, chopped finely
Red pepper flakes to taste
1 bunch of kale
1/3 cup bread crumbs (optional)

Parmesan cheese or feta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

1.      In a large pot, put water on to boil. While the water is coming to a boil, finely chop a head of garlic. In a small skillet, slowly cook the garlic with some red pepper flakes in enough oil for the garlic to move around freely, stirring occasionally until it is pale golden. Add the kale and cook it for few minutes until is cooked but still crispy, then remove it from the heat.

2.      Add spaghetti (1/2 lb) in the boiling water and cook it. When the pasta is ready, scoop it with tongs into a serving bowl, then top it with the crispy golden garlic, oil and kale adding more fresh oil if needed. Mix in some bread crumbs, if using. Add salt and pepper to taste.

3.      Top with shaved Parmesan.
