INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, oil packed, cut into "sprinkles"
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup shallot, minced
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups kale, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces pasta (rigatoni, shells, etc... I use rice pasta shells), cooked
1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup water
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic; saute 1 minute. Add kale; saute 3 minutes or until wilted. Add tomatoes, saute 2 minutes. As 1/2 cup water, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Reduce heat; simmer 3 minutes or until kale is tender. (Depending on the point in the season that you are cooking this it could take quite a bit longer than 3 minutes to get the kale nice and tender.)
Combine the pasta, kale mixuture, and goat cheese in a large bowl, and toss well.
**The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato sprinkles and 2 cups boiling water. The sprinkles are rehydrated for 30 minutes and then drained, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid. This liquid is added after the tomatoes, rather than the plain water.

This is a unique, flavorful way to use super-nutritious kale! It was a hit with my husband, and we'll definitely make it again! For more oomph, we used 12 oz. tortellini, and still ate it all (just 2 of us!), but we're big eaters (esp. if we like something:)

Our first time cooking with/eating kale. Kale is great; this recipe even better! Beautiful to look at, a tasty delight; quick and easy to prepare. We made ours with whole wheat pasta for even better nutrition. This recipe is a "keeper".
