Reginette with Kale and dried tomato pesto is a quick and easy dish which can be prepared for an informal dinner. A first course of creative pasta, an alternative to Linguine with cod, raisins and Kale, which once again demonstrates the versatility of this dish.
In this vegetarian recipe, strong, slightly condensed flavors are combined with almonds for a very appetizing result.
Starring the Kale, a vegetable with extraordinary nutritional properties, I use tomatoes and black olives: three products that are truly excellent for your gastronomy.
A traditional recipe to cook with Kale are the black cabbage soup or the Tuscan crostini with black cabbage. For a decidedly more contemporary proposal, perfect for an aperitif, try with Baked Kale Chips.
