Whole Wheat Spaghetti With Anchovies and Kale
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- salt and black pepper
- 1 lb whole wheat spaghetti
- 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 -8 flat anchovy fillets
- 1 fresh chili pepper, seeded and sliced
- 5 -6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 bunch kale, stemmed and shredded
- 1 few grates nutmeg
- 2 large egg yolks
- grated pecorino romano cheese
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of the pasta cooking water.
- While the pasta is working, heat the EVOO, 4 turns of the pan, in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the anchovies, cover the pan with a splatter screen or loose foil and let the anchovies melt into the oil. Add the chile pepper and garlic and stir for 2 minutes. Add the kale and let it wilt; season with a little nutmeg.
- In a measuring cup, beat the egg yolks with some of the reserved pasta cooking water. Toss the drained spaghetti with the kale, a few handfuls of pecorino-romano, lots of black pepper and the tempered egg yolks; add more pasta cooking water as necessary to evenly coat. Serve the pasta in shallow bowls.
