The ingredients for Buckwheat Pasta With Kale are:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or omit butter and use 2 tablespoons olive oil)

2 large leeks, white and light green parts only, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced and cleaned

4 fresh sage leaves, cut in thin slivers

Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste

3/4 pound kale, stemmed, washed thoroughly, and cut crosswise in strips

Freshly ground pepper

2 ounces Parmesan, grated (1/2 cup)

2 ounces fontina or Gruy?re cheese, cut in 1/4 inch dice

3/4 pound buckwheat pasta (pizzoccheri or soba) or whole wheat fettuccine

Here is how you make Buckwheat Pasta With Kale:

1. Begin heating a large pot of water. Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the leeks and sage, and cook, stirring often, until the leeks begin to soften, about three minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and continue to cook, stirring often, until the leeks are tender, about five minutes. Remove from the heat.2. When the water comes to a boil, add a generous spoonful of salt and the kale. Boil for four minutes, until tender but still bright. Using a slotted spoon or a skimmer, transfer to the pan with the leeks and stir together. Keep warm over low heat.3. Bring the water back to a boil, and add the pasta. Cook al dente (soba will cook quickly, usually in under five minutes, while pizzoccheri and whole wheat fettuccine will take longer). When the pasta is al dente, add 1/2 cup of the cooking water to the pan with the kale and leeks, then drain the pasta and toss in the pan or in a warm pasta bowl with the leeks, kale and the cheeses. Serve at once.Serving Size: Makes 6 servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KRISTIN9924.
