Recipe by Jeanne Kelley Black kale—sometimes called cavolo nero—is dark green and becomes very tender when cooked. If black kale is unavailable, use regular kale.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 3 cups (1/3-inch) diagonally cut parsnip (about 1 pound) 2 1/2 cups sliced onion (about 1 large) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 4 garlic cloves, chopped 1/2 cup dry white wine 8 cups trimmed chopped black kale (about 3 bunches) 1/2 cup organic vegetable broth 8 ounces uncooked penne pasta 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add parsnip to pan; cook 12 minutes or until tender and browned, stirring occasionally. Place in a large bowl; keep warm. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in pan over medium-low heat. Add onion to pan; cook 20 minutes or until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in thyme and garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add wine; cook 3 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Stir in kale and broth; cook, covered, 5 minutes or until kale is tender. Uncover; cook 4 minutes or until kale is very tender, stirring occasionally. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta in a sieve over a bowl, reserving 3/4 cup cooking liquid. Add drained pasta to kale mixture. Stir in parsnips, 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; cook for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Add remaining 1/4 cup cooking liquid if needed to moisten. Top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
