Lemony Kale & Asparagus Pasta

March 6, 2019 by Sophie 3 Comments

This is my kind of weeknight meal.

It’s easy. There’s tons of leftovers. And it has cheese.

But there’s also veggies! So we don’t have to feel as bad about eating a big bowl of cheesy pasta.

I love simple pasta dishes. I have always been a big carb gal. But I also love meals that can be easily switched up based on what you have on hand in your kitchen.

Don’t have asparagus or kale? Use something else! Brussels would be delish. This is such a great base recipe to go wild with. I can’t wait until we have more veggies available when winter is over.

Time to snuggle up on the couch with this tasty pasta and a glass of vino.

It’s Wednesday. You deserve it!

A refreshing and easy pasta dish with kale, asparagus, toasty pine nuts, parm & lemon!

You'll Need...

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced thin
  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • 1 head dino kale, washed and chopped
  • 1 bunch asparagus, washed and chopped
  • 1 pound pasta of choice
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until translucent. Stir in the garlic, and continue to cook until fragrant (about a minute). Next add the kale and asparagus, and cook down until the kale has softened and the asparagus is tender. Turn the heat down to low to keep warm while you cook the pasta.
  2. Cook the pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining. Toss the pasta with the veggies, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Add the parmesan, stir together and then drizzle over the extra pasta water. Toss to coat.
  3. Taste and season further if needed. Serve topped with the toasted pine nuts and more parm.

Additional Notes

-Feel free to swap out the veggies for something else
-You could also do another toasty topping (almonds, walnuts. Go nuts! :D)

    Just made this. Outstanding! The onion and garlic caramelize beautifully as the kale and asparagus cook down. A small squeeze of lemon juice in finishing didn’t hurt.

    I used a mix of kale, spinach and asparagus and accidentally used a lime (it had turned yellow 🤣) and added the juice at the end too and it was lovely! I’ll be making this again!

I shared some of my favorite tips for scoring a mandala a few reels back, so check those out if you want to try a design like this for the first time. I find symmetry a little challenging, for some reason. My brain has a hard time with repetitive patterns, but taking it slow and drawing it out beforehand really helps!

A flaky all-butter pie dough made with sourdough discard, filled with your favorite jam, topped with a simple glaze. Pie is better than cake, no matter the form and I will die on this hill. 🥧

If you didn’t know, I feel equally passionate about pie as I do sourdough. These little hand pies are so cute, and really not hard if you just get over the whole pie dough thing. You can do it, I promise!

Dm me if you want the recipe, cuz I’m saving this one for my cookbook, but I’ll happily share it with friends. 🤍🥧

Blue cornmeal sourdough waffles! Here’s my go-to Blue cornmeal sourdough waffles! Here’s my go-to sourdough waffle (and pancake) recipe. I love these because I swap ingredients all the time to try different flours and liquids. No buttermilk? Make your own, or just use milk and add some Greek yogurt for flavor. 🧇🌾🌽
•
Sourdough Waffles (and pancakes):
2 eggs
220g buttermilk
100g milk
5g vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
200g sourdough starter (can be active or discard)
50g sugar
6g baking soda
4g baking powder
5g salt
90g whole wheat flour
50g cornmeal
100g all-purpose flour

Whisk together the wet ingredients with the sugar until combined. Add the dry ingredients and whisk together until smooth. You may need to add more flour or milk to get it to the right consistency. Cook in a preheated waffle iron until golden and crisp.

Happy mandala Monday! It’s been too long since I Happy mandala Monday! It’s been too long since I’ve scored a mandala loaf, so I was so excited to bake this babe. 🍞🌾 Some of my favorite tips for scoring a mandala pattern on sourdough:

👀 Plan your design. Sketch it out on paper before going to the loaf. It helps to have something to reference. Then use a toothpick to trace it out on your loaf. ✍🏻

🧊 Keep your cool. If you’re worried your loaf will pancake before you finish scoring, pop it in the freezer for 20 minutes beforehand to get it extra cold and easier to work with.

✨And my final tip, which goes for any pattern, don’t be afraid to try something new! Trust your instincts and often you’ll love the result, but even more importantly you’ll learn something new for next time. 🤓
