Angel Hair Pasta with Garlic and Anchovy

This is one of my favorite simple meals because it is so quick to throw together and I always have garlic and anchovies lying around.

Need:

garlic
anchovies
olive oil
angel hair pasta
salt for pasta water
mushrooms
baby kale
chili flakes
parmesan cheese

Get the pasta boiling and chop up ingredients.
This time I had mushrooms and baby kale to throw in. I also love it with blanched cauliflower, escarole, or spinach.

 

baby kale, mushrooms, anchovies, garlic

 

put a bunch of olive oil in pan, add chili flakes, garlic, and anchovies

 

add mushrooms and saute

 

add baby kale and saute

 

add pasta to pan with veggies and toss with parmesan cheese (and more chili flakes)

 

By the way, salt is represented by the anchovies and the salting of the water you did for the pasta. No need to add more. With the whole wheat pasta that I used, this recipe might **gasp** be considered healthy!!!
