Noodles

Kale Pesto

Method

Noodle Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Noodles

    In a large bowl, combine the Red Fife flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll out the Dough

    After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Cut into noodles of your preferred shape.

Kale Pesto Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine kale, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. With the processor running, slowly add olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Squid and Greens Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Squid and Greens

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add squid and cook for 2-3 minutes until opaque. Add Swiss chard and Calabrian chili paste, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Cook the noodles in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and toss with the kale pesto. Add the squid and greens mixture, and gently combine. Serve immediately.
