Spaghetti with Kale and Tomatoes
Ingredients:
6 oz whole grain spaghetti
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red onion - thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic - chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 bunch kale - thick stems removed and leaves torn into bite size pieces (about 8 cups)
2 pints grape tomatoes - halved
1/4 c. chopped roasted almonds
1/4 c. grated pecorino
Method:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Keep 1/4 c. of the cooking water. Drain pasta and return to pot.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp pepper. Cook and stir occasionally until the onions begin to brown (4 to 5 minutes). Add kale and cook, tossing frequently, until tender, (2 to 3 minutes). You may have to put part of the kale in, let it soften and shrink and then add more kale. Add the tomatoes and cook, tossing frequently until the tomatoes begin to soften (1 to 2 minutes more).
Add the kale mixture, almonds, pecorino to the pasta. Toss to combine. Add as much reserved cooking water as you would like sauce. Serve with additional pecorino.
