Oh how I love thee Kale, I am sorry all those years I dismissed you..casting my beady eye across your green spiky leaves like you were something the cat dragged in… all that changed when I realised the magic was to cook it properly made all the difference! And it was love ever since! However this recipe turns that theory completely on its head in the fact the kale is not actually cooked! I was a little dubious prior to making it what it be like but it turned out rather delicious and made for a very tasty bowl of spaghetti! Make sure you don’t eat it on date night unless you both like raw garlic – it can be a little pungent but maybe add less cloves if love is in the air!
The only real problem I encountered making this was lacking a actual food processor to grind and chop everything together. As much as I would love one again, I lack space in our stupidly tiny flat and manage to make do with a chopper thingy and a spice grinder and between the two of them I managed to succeed in turning it into pesto, so the moral of the story is don’t be disheartened if you don’t have the exact equipment – quite often other things will do the job too!
Serves 2
Ingredients:
50g whole almonds, toasted
25g parmesan cheese, grated (or a veggie version) + extra to serve
75g kale, leaves picked and stalks discarded
2 cloves garlic
160g spaghetti
100g sliced artichokes, from an antipasti jar – save the oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Method:
Using a mini chopper/ food processor blend the kale with the garlic, lemon juice, parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile boil the spaghetti in salted water as per packet instructions, when cooked reserve a cupful of the liquid and drain well.
If your machine is not up to the job grind the toasted nuts separately in a spice grinder and add to the kale mixture along with roughly ten tablespoons of the liquid from the artichoke antipasti and a good splash of the reserved pasta water to make the mixture slightly loose.
Gently toss the prepared pesto and artichokes with the kale mixture, serve in bowls topped with a little more grated parmesan.
Enjoy you glorious garlicky green bowl of goodness!
I am rather naughty at picking up random ingredients, and I had added a jar of Artichokes antipasti to the trolley at least six months ago with no specific intent other than to use in something at some point. Possibly I had seen something online or on tv that triggered me to buy them but I don’t have the foggiest now as to what it was!
