I love this stuff. Of course I add much more hot pepper and I used frozen chopped spinach instead of kale. I also added just a touch of cornstarch so the sauce would stick to my pasta. I can eat this hot or cold.. that's how delicious it is! I served it over penne pasta. It is so delicious you just have to try it!

Delish! This is easy to make, fast, tasty and healthy. I didn't use the oil and cut back on the cheese in order to reduce the fat. I use whole wheat pasta and added more garlic and red pepper flakes. I also boiled the kale for a minute or two before adding because it was super thick and bitter (dino kale). Thanks for posting, this is a perfect weeknight meal!

I'm an American living in London since I got married in 1994 (except for a brief stint in New Jersey, and then Luxembourg). I work part-time for a national charity and also study social sciences part-time with the Open University. Keeps me busy, but I still find plenty of time to cook and search for 'zaar recipes!
Over time my cooking has meshed English and American customs together, especially at holiday time. I make a mean Christmas fruitcake complete with Fondant Icing and marzipan, but I still have a Christmas cookie party for my friends where I introduce (or subject!) them to all my favorite cookie recipes. My husband and two kids will happily eat Shepherd's Pie or Sloppy Joes, cheese and onion or grilled cheese sandwiches. The comparisons go on and on...
