Bucatini with kale and ricotta

I love bucatini- spaghetti with a whole in it!

12 oz bucatini
salt
1 bunch lacinato kale
1/4 c olive oil
4 cloves garlic
1 oz parm cheese
1/8 t red pepper flakes
1/4 t black pepper
1/4 c pine nuts, toasted
1 c ricotta cheese
lemon zest*

Cook pasta in salted water.

Meanwhile, toast pine nuts.

Add kale to pasta and water until wilted. Strain, but keep 3/4c of water.

In a skillet, heat garlic and then add pasta, kale, parm, red pepper, and water.

Season with S&P and serve with nuts, ricotta and lemon zest.



* My friend JD (the same who asked about mashing potatoes) once tried to call me to ask where to buy lemon zest in the store. She is now the proud owner of a zester...
