Kale, olive, and rosemary pasta



Hey folks, I've been crazy busy and then came down with the flu, so sorry for being MIA.  But I will post some great Thanksgiving recipes in the next few days.  In the meanwhile, here is what I had for dinner tonight: a simple pasta dish with sauteed kale, minced kalamata olives, garlic and rosemary.  It took no time, and tasted damn good.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • 1 package of Tinkyada gluten free spaghetti (or your favorite brand.)
  • 1 head of green kale
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1 cup of kalamata olives (or try sundried olives, or your favorite salty olive!)
  • 6 or so sprigs of rosemary 
  • 1 huge lemon
  • Salt, pepper, and olive oil
Directions
  1. Boil the pasta following directions on the package; drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, wash and de-stem the kale, and cut into small pieces.
  3. Mince the garlic, olives, and rosemary.
  4. In a pan, saute the garlic and rosemary in olive oil.
  5. Before the garlic browns, add the olives and kale.
  6. Sautee until kale is bright green, turn off the heat.
  7. Throw the spaghetti into the pan and mix well.  
  8. Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt, and pepper and enjoy!
