Spaghetti Aglio E Olio Recipe.

Ingredients:

12 ounces spaghetti
1/2 to 1 cup pasta water
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 TSP red pepper flakes
1 large bunch lacinato kale, stemmed and chopped
1/2 TSP sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 TSP lemon zest
1 TSP lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped parsley
Parmesan or Vegan Parmesan, for serving

Recipe Instructions:

Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, in a pot of salted boiling water, until al dente.
Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes.
Stir and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the garlic is lightly browned around the edges.
Add the kale, salt, and several grinds of pepper and cook, tossing with tongs, until the kale is wilted, up to 1 minute.
Add the spaghetti and toss to combine.
Add 1/2 cup pasta water, lemon juice, lemon zest, and toss.
If the pasta is seeming too dry, add the remaining 1/2 cup pasta water to create a light sauce.
Season to taste.
Garnish with parsley and serve with Parmesan or vegan Parmesan.
