Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces brown rice penne pasta
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ cup diced onion
4 slices turkey bacon
3 cups sliced Swiss chard
3 cups sliced red kale
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup soy milk
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes less than package instructed cooking time, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in the hot oil, 4 to 5 minutes. Add turkey bacon and saute until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside. Add Swiss chard and kale to the same pan and saute until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Crumble bacon, return to the skillet, and reduce heat to low.
  • Whisk ricotta cheese, soy milk, eggs, egg yolks, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk reserved pasta water slowly into egg mixture to temper eggs. Remove the skillet from heat and toss in cooked pasta as you pour over the egg mixture; heat from pasta will gently cook eggs and create a sauce. Serve immediately.

This dish was a disaster! The kale was tough and the sauce was too runny.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper to taste.

This dish is a bit heavy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less cheese and cream if you prefer a lighter dish.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover kale. It's also a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but I actually really enjoyed it in this dish. The crispy texture was a nice contrast to the creamy sauce.

The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. The kale added a nice touch of bitterness that balanced out the richness of the sauce.
