Brown Butter Kale Pasta

By GNSnavely

Ingredients

• 8 ounces uncooked bow tie or Farfalle pasta
• 1/3 cup golden raisins (can substitute regular raisins)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 3 cup packed kale, stems and ribs removed
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, add pasta then cook according to package directions. Once there is 3 minutes left until the pasta is done, add the kale. Drain.
In the meantime, add raisins to a small bowl then cover with boiling water and set aside until pasta has cooked.
Add butter to a heavy-bottomed frying pan and melt, while occasionally swirling the pan, over medium-low heat. Continue to swirl the pan until the butter starts to darken in color. You are looking for a light brown, the butter will smell nutty. Watch the butter closely, the butter can burn quite easily.
Once the butter has browned, add pasta and kale, toss then drain the raisins and add to the pasta along with the crumbled feta cheese. Serve warm
