Harvest Pasta with Kale and Swiss Chard image

I made this with what was harvested from my garden at the end of summer. A great representation of the bounty of summer and the joy of having my own vegetable garden. I added the shrimp for protein but this would be good on its own. The balsamic vinegar really helps cut the bitter taste of the greens. Serve hot with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

13 ounces spaghetti
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, sliced
1 cup chopped kale
1 hot pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced
3 ½ ounces peeled and deveined shrimp
2 cups chopped Swiss chard
1 cup chopped green beans
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving some of the cooking liquid.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and kale; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, hot pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, red bell pepper, shrimp, Swiss chard, and green beans. Cook until shrimp is opaque, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir spaghetti into the skillet, pouring in some of the reserved cooking liquid if mixture is too dry. Add balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook until flavors combine, 3 to 5 minutes.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I had some leftover Italian sausage and it worked perfectly in this dish.
