Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 to 8 cups packed fresh kale leaves, roughly chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cups water
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 12 ounces Fettuccine Pasta
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a cooking pot. Add kale leaves and salt; cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add water, halved tomatoes, pasta, garlic, salt and pepper. Set over high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook for 13 to 15 minutes, or until pasta is thoroughly cooked and water reduced. Stir occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and stir in crumbled feta cheese.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Stir: While the pasta simmers, stir it now and then to prevent it from sticking and to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Monitor: Keep a close watch on the pasta's cooking time, which may differ depending on the brand and thickness.
  • Personalize Your Dish: Make this meal your own by incorporating additional ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, olives, or spinach.
  • Serve Promptly: Pasta dishes are most enjoyable when served immediately.
  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat them gently in a microwave or on the stovetop.
