Kale and Cannellini Beans image

Very simple & healthy!! Serve this over your choice of pasta or mashed potatoes for a lovely dinner. You can use any type of kale but Lacinato is what was called for here. Also if you don't have the leek sub onion or shallots...who cares :) I use home cooked beans but canned is listed for convienence.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch kale, stemmed and cut into pieces (about 6 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 leek, white part only, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans
1 teaspoon salt
additional salt

Steps:

  • If you are serving over pasta cook according to package but reserve 2 cups of the pasta water.
  • Saute garlic and leeks in olive oil over medium heat. Add red pepper flakes and salt. Be careful not to brown the garlic; it will be bitter if you do.
  • Add kale and the drained and rinsed beans. Add reserved pasta water a bit at a time, just enough to have enough liquid for the kale to wilt and become tender. Be sure to taste the kale and bean mixture. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Add drained cooked pasta directly to the bean and kale mixture. Add additional pasta water if the mixture is dry, and add more olive oil if desired.

Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! The kale was perfectly wilted and the beans were creamy and flavorful. Loved the crispy shallots on top too.

Kale and cannellini beans turned out amazing! The flavors were so well-balanced, and the addition of lemon zest and red pepper flakes gave it a nice kick. Definitely a keeper!
