  • Don't overcook the kale: Kale should be cooked just until it is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Overcooked kale will be tough and bitter.
  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans will bring out their nutty flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • Use a light hand with the lemon juice: Lemon juice can easily overpower the other flavors in this dish, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Angel hair pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to make it ahead of time, cook the pasta and kale according to the directions, then drain and rinse them under cold water. Toss the pasta and kale with the dressing and pecans just before serving.
