Tomato, Chard, Kale, Spinach with Pappardelle Pasta
This dish layers tender cooked leafy greens—kale, chard, and spinach—with stewed tomatoes over wide, flat pappardelle pasta. The slow-cooked tomato and greens mixture offers a soft texture and integrates bright lemon juice and zest for freshness. The garlic-infused olive oil and parsley finish add subtle aromatic notes, making it a hearty vegetarian meal option suitable for pairing with proteins or served on its own.

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.
