Jamie Oliver's 5 minute Green Spaghetti
adapted from Jamie Oliver's 5 minute pasta dishes
This is by far one of the easiest sauces possible. The fact that it's fresh ,vegetable forward, and beautiful doesn't hurt.Note: This makes enough for two.
Ingredients:
- 5 ounces dried string pasta
- 4 cloves purple garlic (peeled but left whole)
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 ounce ricotta cheese
- 7 ounces Lacinato kale
- 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil + extra to serve
Methods:
- Bring a pot of salted water (with enough water to cook the pasta) to a boil.
- Meanwhile, remove the stalks from the kale and discard
- Fan the dried pasta into the boiling pasta water.
- Drop the kale leaves into the middle of the pot with the whole cloves of garlic
- Stir to submerge the kale (it will keep popping to the top.)
- Cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the Parmesan cheese and olive oil into a food processor.
- Remove the kale and the garlic with tongs and drop straight into a food processor.
- Pulse until the mixture is smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the pasta (it should be ready by now -- a total cook time of 7-8 minutes,) reserving a quarter cup of pasta water in a measuring cup.
- Add the kale sauce to the pasta, adding the reserved pasta water, and cook down until the sauce is rich and thick.
- Serve topped with a couple of spoonfuls of ricotta and extra Parmesan and/or olive oil to taste.
