This recipe is very similar to one I make with broccoli, but with the addition of anchovies. I liked it a lot, and will rotate the broccoli with greens regularly for a change of pace. Good with sausage or on filled pasta like tortellini to make it a meal.

This pasta is the one I should have eaten in college instead of pasta topped with bottled red sauce or ramen noodles. And I enjoy it now as much as I would have then. The ingredients are cheap, and the pasta is simple, easy, delicious and addictingly good. Each ingredient shines -- from the richness of the kale and anchovies to the brightness of the lemon to the wonderfulness that is melted cheese.

Oh my!!
1) Easy (low labour)
2) High, high flavour!!
3) Incredibly tasty....I wish I had recorded the groans of pleasure from the diners....
4) a great first course, but could easily be an entree.
5) Do not omit the anchovies!!
6) Make it!!
One of the best pasta recipes I have ever made!
PS: Make your cooking water taste like sea water....quite salty.
