Tomato, Chard, Kale, Spinach with Pappardelle Pasta
Description
Tomato, Chard, Kale, Spinach with Pappardelle Pasta combines roughly chopped kale, swiss chard, and spinach cooked gently with garlic and tomatoes. The cooking process softens the vegetables and breaks down the tomatoes to create a light, rich vegetable topping. The addition of lemon juice and zest brings brightness that balances the earthiness of the greens. Garlic and parsley contribute aromatic complexity, while olive oil enriches the dish with a smooth mouthfeel.
The pappardelle pasta is cooked until al dente and mixed with olive oil to prevent sticking before the vegetable mixture is spooned on top. This preparation allows the wide pasta ribbons to catch the vegetable sauce well. It can be enjoyed as a light main course or alongside grilled meats or fish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups kale roughly chopped, Toscano variety
- 4 cups spinach roughly chopped
- 4 cups swiss chard roughly chopped
- 2 garlic thinly sliced, cloves
- 4 cups tomato seeds removed and chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley
- 1 pound pappardelle pasta
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium heat add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the garlic and fry for less than 1 minute, until starting to sizzle. Add the tomatoes and any juice, chard, and kale to the pan and ¾ of a teaspoon salt.
- Stir through. Cover the pan and continue to cook for 20 minutes, stirring every once in a while, until the kale and the chard are wilted, and the tomatoes have broken down.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pappardelle pasta according to packaging directions. Drain and place on a plate and add the 1 tablespoon remaining olive oil and mix well. Place on a serving dish.
- Remove the kale chard combination from the heat. Add the spinach, lemon juice, zest, and parsley, and mix well before pouring it over the pappardelle.
