Harvest Pasta with Kale and Swiss Chard image

I made this with what was harvested from my garden at the end of summer. A great representation of the bounty of summer and the joy of having my own vegetable garden. I added the shrimp for protein but this would be good on its own. The balsamic vinegar really helps cut the bitter taste of the greens. Serve hot with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

13 ounces spaghetti
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, sliced
1 cup chopped kale
1 hot pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced
3 ½ ounces peeled and deveined shrimp
2 cups chopped Swiss chard
1 cup chopped green beans
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving some of the cooking liquid.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and kale; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, hot pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, red bell pepper, shrimp, Swiss chard, and green beans. Cook until shrimp is opaque, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir spaghetti into the skillet, pouring in some of the reserved cooking liquid if mixture is too dry. Add balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook until flavors combine, 3 to 5 minutes.

I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes to this recipe for a little bit of heat.

This dish is also very easy to make. Simply cook the pasta according to the package directions, then sauté the sausage, bacon, and vegetables. Add the pasta and sauce to the skillet and simmer until heated through.
