Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup pecans
1 pound angel hair pasta
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
1/2 pound kale, stems discarded and chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
8 basil leaves, torn
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Toast pecans in a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from skillet and chop. Set aside.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of salt to a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than the package instructs.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add the garlic and chili flakes and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add kale and lemon zest and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir carefully so that the kale will not fall out of the pan.
  • Add the pasta, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, basil, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is coated.
  • Portion pasta onto plates. Sprinkle with the pecans and Parmesan cheese.

This dish was a complete disaster! The pasta was overcooked, the kale was tough, and the lemon-pecan sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I think a simpler recipe would have been better.

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. However, the kale was cooked perfectly and the pecans added a nice crunch.
