Linguine with Breadcrumbs and Kale
Description
Sometimes you just need an amazingly easy, delicious meal to get you through the week. This is a perfect leftover meal - you can use whatever greens you have lying around and day or two old bread makes the best breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound linguine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 slices, day old bread, cubed
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 bunch kale, chopped
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- salt & pepper
Directions
- Boil pasta according to the package in salted pot.
- Process bread in a food processor until it’s about the consistency of coarse cornmeal.
- Heat ¼ c. oil in a frying pan and add the breadcrumbs. Once the breadcrumbs are slightly toasted and golden brown, add the garlic and continue to stir until well toasted.
- Add the kale to the frying pan with a little bit of the pasta water and sauté quickly.
- Toss the oil mixture with the drained pasta and add salt & pepper to taste. Add the rest of the oil as needed. Mix in parmesan and serve.
