Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 6 to 8 min., until al dente.
Reserving 1 cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the kale leaves from the stems; thinly slice the leaves.
- Halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½.
- Halve the celery lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
Make the sauce
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the celery and kale. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until wilted; season with S&P.
- Add the garlic, tomato sauce, ricotta, demi-glace, ½ the reserved cooking water and S&P.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until slightly thickened.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Combine the pasta
- To the pan, add the pasta, lemon juice and ½ the cheese.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined and warmed through.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your bowls.
- Garnish with the lemon wedges and remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
