A note about serious food allergies

We've heard the nasty rumors about kale for years (thinks she's better than us, taking hardworking lettuces' jobs in salads), and we don’t believe a word: kale's been nothing but good to us. She's great here, healthy and with a slightly bitter taste, adding to the earthy, meaty mushrooms and rich tortellini. Reputation means nothing; the flavor is everything. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. The easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

Customize It Instructions

  • Meat lovers! If using proteins, cook in a large non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until opaque and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using chicken breasts, pat dry and cut into 1" dice. Season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break into smaller pieces, until heated through, 5-7 minutes. Add to pasta as desired.
