Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 10 to 12 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
- Reserve the pot.
Cook the pork
- Meanwhile, pat the pork dry; season with ½ the spices and S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the pork* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until browned and cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the kale and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until softened; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add the tomato sauce, cream and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
Combine the pasta & serve
- To the pot of sauce, add the pasta.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined; season with S&P.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Divide the pasta between your plates.
- Top with the pork. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
