The resulting pasta wasn't the fanciest but it wasn't bad! Being forced to come up with something based on random odds and ends in the refrigerator/pantry is a good thing. I end up combining elements I might not have otherwise combined and, every once in awhile, discover a new flavor combination that's pretty tasty. Bonus points are in order if I use up leftovers we might have otherwise tossed.
While I warmed the pasta, I threw the kale in a saute pan with olive oil, hot chili flakes, and coarse salt. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, I added crumbled goat cheese and the lemon zest to the hot pasta and added a bit of hot water to loosen the goat cheese and coat the pasta. Once the kale was ready, I added it to the bowl and mixed. Lemony creamy pasta with kale = nice dinner. It would most certainly have been better had I cooked fresh pasta, but it was tasty and quick. I would definitely make this again.
