Pasta With Kale Brown Butter And Anchovy Recipes

Steps:

• Boil the pasta. While it's cooking, heat half the oil in a saucepan, then sizzle the chilli, garlic and anchovies. Add the kale, then gently fry until tender, adding a drop of water if needed.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a few tbsp water, then toss the pasta and water through the kale, adding the rest of the olive oil, lemon juice and grated Parmesan. Serve scattered with the Parmesan shavings.

Steps:

• Bring a heavily salted pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in the largest skillet you have. Add chiles and a pinch of salt and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add smashed garlic, capers and anchovies. Let cook until everything is golden, the capers look crisp around the edges and the anchovies have dissolved into the oil, about 3 to 4 minutes. (You can help anchovies dissolve by mashing them with a wooden spoon as they cook.) Add kale and 2 tablespoons water and sauté until kale wilts and cooks in the pan and is well coated with oil, about 5 minutes. You might have to add more water if the water evaporates before the kale finishes cooking.
• Add drained pasta and toss well. Add more salt if necessary and plenty of black pepper, and serve drizzled with more oil and a squeeze of lemon if the dish needs a lift. Cheese isn't necessary but if you like pecorino and have some on hand, feel free to shower it on top.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Submerge the kale in the boiling water and cook, stirring once or twice, for 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over very low heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the anchovies have disintegrated and the garlic is just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste has turned a deep, brick-red color, about 10 minutes.
• Add the kale and 1/4 cup water to the pot and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the kale and the tomato mixture have fully combined, all of the water has evaporated, and the kale is fully tender, about 10 minutes. If the water evaporates too quickly, add a few extra tablespoons so that the kale has time to cook fully. Serve immediately.
