KALE, TOMATO, AND LEMON MAGIC ONE-POT SPAGHETTI



Kale, Tomato, and Lemon Magic One-Pot Spaghetti image

This pasta is a complete revelation. The sauce is magically made from the pasta water and tomatoes as the pasta cooks-all in one pan. No fuss, one pan, and a killer bowl of pasta. Pasta and gluten sometimes get bad press. I think there is a time and place for a good bowl of pasta. Saying that, I opt for interesting pastas as often as I do the traditional kind. Try corn, chickpea, or buckwheat spaghetti-they are gluten-free, and all have incredible individual flavors and make a welcome change if pasta is a staple in your house. The key to this recipe is to measure your water carefully and to use the right pan: you need a large, shallow sauté pan or casserole large enough to fit the pasta lying down. A large, deep frying pan or wok would work well too.

Yield Serves 4 generously

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 ounces/400 g spaghetti or linguine
14 ounces/400 g cherry tomatoes
Zest of 2 large unwaxed lemons
7 tablespoons/100 ml olive oil
2 heaping teaspoons flaky sea salt (if you are using fine-grain table salt, add a bit less)
1 (14-ounce/400-g) bunch of kale or spinach
Parmesan cheese (I use a vegetarian one) (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill and boil a kettle of water and get all your ingredients and equipment together. You need a large, shallow pan with a lid.
  • Put the pasta into the pan. Quickly chop the tomatoes in half and throw them into the pan. Grate in the zest of both lemons and add the oil and salt. Add about 1 quart/1 liter of boiling water, put a lid on the pan, and bring back to a boil. Remove the lid and simmer on high heat for 6 minutes, using a pair of tongs to turn the pasta every 30 seconds or so as it cooks.
  • Meanwhile, remove any tough stalks from the kale or spinach and coarsely tear the leaves. Once the pasta has had 6 minutes, add the kale and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Once almost all the water has evaporated, take the pan off the heat and tangle the pasta into four bowls. If you like, top with a little Parmesan.

ONE-POT SPAGHETTI WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND KALE



One-Pot Spaghetti With Cherry Tomatoes and Kale image

In this simple recipe, raw pasta and cherry tomatoes are simmered together in a single pan, cooking the pasta and forming a thick, starchy sauce at the same time. The efficient technique is internet famous, but this is the British cookbook author Anna Jones's vegetarian take on the phenomenon, adapted from her book "A Modern Way to Cook." The technique is easy to master and endlessly adaptable: When you add the kale, you could also toss in a couple of anchovies and a generous pinch of red-pepper flakes. When you season and top with cheese, you could add a pile of fresh chopped herbs, like mint, basil or oregano.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound spaghetti
1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved (about 2 pints)
2 lemons, zested
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 bunch kale or spinach, leaves only, washed and chopped
Black pepper
Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring just over a quart of water to a boil. Meanwhile, place spaghetti, tomatoes, lemon zest, oil and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in a large, dry, shallow pan. (The pan should be large enough that the dry spaghetti can lie flat.)
  • Carefully add the boiling water to the pan with the spaghetti. Cover pan, and bring up to a boil. Remove lid and simmer for about 6 minutes, using tongs to move the spaghetti around now and then so it doesn't stick. Add kale or spinach and continue cooking until remaining liquid has reduced to a sauce and the pasta is cooked through. Taste, season with salt and pepper, and top with Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the spaghetti to the pot, be sure not to overcrowd it. If the spaghetti is too crowded, it will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Stir occasionally: Stir the spaghetti occasionally while it is cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the cheese at the end: Add the Parmesan cheese to the spaghetti just before serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Spaghetti is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store it, let it cool completely before refrigerating. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This kale, tomato, and lemon magic one-pot spaghetti is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be on the table in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
