Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the penne to al dente, according to the time on the package directions. Before draining the pasta, reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water.
- Heat a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, shallot, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shallot is tender.
- Next add the butter, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the butter has melted.
- Add ½ cup of the starchy pasta water and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce begins to bubble and thicken. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, kale, and penne. Toss to combine.
- If the sauce is too thin, add another ¼ cup of the reserved pasta water. Continue to cook the pasta for 1-2 minutes, or until the kale is just barely wilted and the sauce evenly coats the pasta. Again, if the sauce becomes too dry add the last ¼ cup of pasta water.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the parmesan. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
