Lemony Collard Greens Pasta
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Collard Greens fresh, about 20 big leaves
- 16 oz Gluten-Free Pasta 1 package, thin spaghetti or “spaghettini”
- 6 tbsp Pine Nuts
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic pressed or minced
- 0.50 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 0.50 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 2 oz Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Lemons cut into wedges
Instructions:
- Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to directions.
- Drain quickly, reserving a bit of cooking water, and set aside.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed 12″ skillet over medium heat and toast the pine nuts until they start to turn golden and fragrant. Pour them out of the skillet and save for later.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and pour in a tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle in a big pinch of red pepper flakes and the garlic and stir.
- Once the oil is hot enough to shimmer, toss in all of your collard greens.
- Sprinkle the greens with salt. Stirring often (try not to let them clump), sauté the greens for about three minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat. Scoop the greens into the pasta pot and toss with another drizzle of olive oil, adding pasta water if necessary.
- Divide onto plates, top with pine nuts and Parmesan shavings and serve with two big lemon wedges per person.
