Whole-Wheat Pasta with Kale and Fontina image

A small amount of bacon infuses this simple dish with a rich smokiness. We used whole-wheat spaghetti to balance the distinct tastes of the kale and the Fontina.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices bacon (2 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch strips
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 bunch kale (1 pound), thick stems trimmed, leaves coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 cups reduced-sodium canned chicken broth
1 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
1/2 cup coarsely chopped Fontina cheese

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons rendered fat.
  • Cook garlic in same skillet over medium heat until golden, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Add half the kale; cook, tossing until just wilted, 2 minutes. Add remaining kale, and season with salt and pepper; cook, tossing, until all kale has wilted, 2 minutes. Add broth; cover. Simmer until kale is tender, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water. Return pasta to pot. Add kale and Fontina; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add reserved cooking water as desired. Divide pasta among plates; top with reserved bacon.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover kale. I always have kale in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.
