Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Preheat the oven to broil. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 3 to 4 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve, core and medium-dice the sweet pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
Sauté the vegetables
- Remove the kale leaves from the stems; slice the leaves.
- In a large, oven-safe pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the kale, sweet pepper, remaining spices and S&P.
- Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until softened and wilted.
Broil the pasta & serve
- To the pan, add the pasta, tomato sauce, ½ the reserved cooking water and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
- Sprinkle with the Grana Padano and dollop the ricotta over top.
- Transfer to the oven and broil, 2 to 4 min., until golden brown.
- Divide the pasta between your bowls. Bon appétit!
