Best Kale Linguine Recipes

LINGUINE WITH SAUSAGE AND KALE

Steps:

• Boil linguine in salted water to desired doneness, 8-11 minutes; saute sausages in olive oil, over high heat, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
• Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic; saute, stirring, 2-3 minutes until onion begins to brown; add kale and stir until wilted, 1-2 minutes; add broth and stir until boiling.
• Drain pasta and return to pan; add sausage mixture, cheese, salt and pepper; toss to combine and serve.

SPICY CLAM & KALE LINGUINE

Steps:

• Pick over the clams and discard any that are damaged or stay open when pressed shut, then rinse them in cold water. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add a pinch of salt and drop in the linguine. Cook for 1 min less than pack instructions.
• Heat the oil in a large, lidded sauté pan over a medium heat. Add the nduja and cook for 3 mins, breaking up the sausage with the back of the spoon so that it melts into the oil. Stir in the garlic, cook until fragrant, then turn up the heat to high. Add the clams and kale, pour in the wine and put on the lid. Cook for 2-3 mins, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open and the kale wilts.
• Remove any clams that aren't open, then drain the linguine and toss through the sauce. Stir in the lemon zest and season well with black pepper. Serve immediately with parmesan and lemon wedges for squeezing.

KALE LINGUINE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Bring water and stock to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Add kale; reduce heat to low and let simmer, covered, until kale is tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add oil to coat. Increase heat to medium-high. Add beef and stir quickly to crumble. Add onion and celery; continue to cook and stir until meat is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Stir diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning into the meat mixture over medium heat until thoroughly warm, about 5 minutes. Add milk, salt, and pepper; stir until blended. Stir in cooked kale. Remove from heat and serve over tossed linguine.

LINGUINE WITH KALE AND COD

Steps:

• In a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium.

Add 1/2 teaspoon oil and kale to pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until kale begins to wilt, 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until kale is tender, 6 minutes.
• Drain pasta and add to pan with kale. Stir in pinch of red-pepper flakes and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with oil, and top with cod; serve with lemon wedge.
