Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare the sauce next allowing it to simmer while you slice the kale and toss together the crumb mixture. Boil the pasta. When drained & hot, toss with the greens, goat cheese, and crumb mixture. Finish with a generous topping of the sauce.
Legend states ‘puttanesca’ is named for the “Ladies of the Night” in Venice because it comes together quickly using ingredients on hand or maybe because of its spicy, sassy flavors. Whatever the reason, keep these ingredients ready for a quick dish on a night you are tempted to call for take-out. This winter version adds shredded carrots and a handful of spinach instead of the typical basil. It also calls for anchovies, which add a significant ocean deep flavor, but it is just fine to leave them out. Add a splash more of the briny caper or olive juice to make up for the loss of salty flavor. Serve this in any dish calling for a simple marinara.
Creamy goat cheese, strands of kale & a sprinkle of garlic-almond crumbs for an extra boost of flavor coat long pasta such as fettucine or spaghetti.
