Forget Bad Kale Pasta, Try This Instead

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Tear the kale into small pieces by hand, removing it from the stems. The smaller the pieces, the better.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, dissolve 1 tablespoon of rock salt in it, then add the pasta and kale.
  3. Stir with a long wooden spoon so nothing sticks to the bottom, and cook for about 10 minutes.
  4. While the pasta cooks, heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat.
  5. Crush and add 2 garlic cloves, then quickly add 1 tablespoon of pasta water so the garlic does not burn.
  6. Crush and add the black olives, along with half of the dried chili (keep the other half for later).
  7. Add the cooked kale and pasta to the saucepan with half a mug of pasta water and mix gently.
  8. Sprinkle over the remaining dried chili and add pepper, then toss well so the flavours infuse.
  9. Serve with a large spoon on a large plate.
