Posted by
Ingredients:
- 1 bundle tuscan kale, stemmed and cut into large irregular shapes
- broiled tomato crostini , for serving, recipe follows
- twelve 1/2-inch-thick slices multi-grain batard or other crusty, long, 3-inch-wide loaf
Directions:
- EVOO
- Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the broiler.
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water to al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Heads up: reserve a mugful or about 1 1/2 cups starchy cooking water just before draining.

- Toast the nuts in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant.
- Place the herbs in food processor and add the nuts. Then grate in the garlic, season with salt and pepper, and add cheeses and 1/2 cup EVOO. Pulse into a thick pesto sauce and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a large serving bowl.
- Add 1 cup of the starchy water to the pesto. Toss the pasta and sauce to combine. If the pasta is dry, add the remaining 1/2 starchy water. Fold in half of the crispy kale and garnish with the remainder. Serve with Broiled Tomato Crostini.
- Broiled Tomato Crostini:
- Heat the broiler.
- Arrange the tomatoes on a baking sheet and dress with the thyme, salt and pepper and drizzle with EVOO. Broil until charred at the edges, 10 minutes. Chop the tomatoes and reserve.
- Just before serving, char the toasts on each side, rub with the cut garlic, drizzle with EVOO and top the toast with the chopped, broiled tomatoes.
