Preparation Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta when ready.

Thinly slice the kale into thin strips.

Toss together the almond flour, garlic, olive oil, and oregano. Place in a dry skillet over medium heat. Sear. Flip. Continue to sear and flip until the crumbs are golden. Remove.

When the pasta is about 1 minute from being el dente, add the shredded kale. Cook until the kale & pasta are just tender. Strain reserving some of the hot pasta liquid.

Pour in about 1/4 cup of the hot pasta water into the serving bowl. Whisk in the crumbled goat cheese. When the cheese is melted, toss in the kale & pasta.

Sprinkle in most of the garlic-almond crumbs and fold together.

Garnish with a sprinkle of the crumbs & an extra crumble of the goat cheese.
