Linguine with Kale
If you enjoy pasta with Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil and wine then you should give this one a try! The lemon juice is needed to brighten up the flavors and cut through the olive oil and cheese.

This recipe works with any leafy vegetable, whilst I like it best with Kale I've also made it with Spinach.
