Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente.
- Reserving 1 cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the kale and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until wilted; season with S&P.
- Add the tomatoes, pesto, cream, demi-glace, ½ the reserved cooking water and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to thicken.
- Add the pasta and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined and warmed through.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
