Soba Noodles w/Zucchini RibbonsI also had grand plans for the bunch of kale I had picked up at the farmers market after reading Molly Wizenberg's article in Bon Appetit about how a recipe for Spaghetti w/Braised Kale made her fall in love with this highly nutritious vegetable. While I didn't need to be convinced (I already like kale), I thoroughly enjoyed this dish, which I made with some Lemon Chive Angel Hair!
Spaghetti w/Braised KaleTo finish off the kale, I also decided to try this recipe for a chickpea and kale stirfry. The recipe has been morphed from Heidi's site and I've also seen a version by Esi, so I knew this was probably a winner ;) Indeed it was-- the lemony zing went perfectly with the sauteed kale and crispy, hearty chickpeas!
Lemony Chickpea & Kale Stir FryHope everyone had a great weekend! I've got a fun dessert coming up using this new(ish) product and a cute pan :)

I love doing a similar dish with bitter greens to your kale dish. It calls for caramelized fennel and bitter greens and it won me over on both. All your dishes look excellent.
Great dishes! I love pasta, but much prefer it with LOTS of veggies. The stir fry looks incredible too. Esi and Heidi are always creating such awesome dishes. Can't wait to see your dessert. Hope you're having a good week
I'm a fan of pairing a bit of pasta with a bunch of veggies... the soba noodles with zucchini and edamame looks especially delicious!
Ooo all these meals look really good, and creative too!
Yum! Your dishes look very gourmet and delicious! : )
Gourmet in the house! I love the zuke ribbons, nice work!
Oh ... I am loving this beautiful, gorgeous and vibrant color pasta. I can feel how delicious it is.
Whoa, you're being quite the cookaholic today. 3 dishes? Anything involving kale is a winner for me, I love that stuff, and it's sooo good for you :)
Awesome dishes! The zucchini ribbons look so pretty, delicious with soba noodles!
I know what the dessert is ;)
I love all these veggie full dishes. I never use kale in my cooking because I think it's too grassy for my picky husband. Do you think any of these dishes may turn him into a kale lover?
I love kale! I have a use bag I'm trying to use up. These all look delicious!
The stir fry sounds excellent! I need to stir fry greens just by themselves more often for a simple side dish.
Would you like to come over and cook for me? Those meals look SO good! : )
Yum, I love veggies and pasta!
The zucchini ribbons rocks! For some reasons, i stopped eating pasta..
OOh I LOVE these Shannon! Great ways to bulk up pasta a little without adding major volume. Meaning, we can stay functional during the day. Key. :)
you've been cooking up a storm! Man, I just wanna live in your kitchen. Heidi is one of my fave bloggers, and I'm not even vegetarian!
I love Pappardelle's pastas. Once I finish my gourmet peanut butter, that may be my next splurge. You should consider submitting one (or both) of these pasta dishes to Presto Pasta Nights (hosted by me this week). They look ideal for quick weeknight meals packed with some of the best veggies ever.
They all look really tasty. I love adding tons of veggies to my pasta dishes.
mmmm they all sound super good to me!
Mmm, soba noodles with zucchini does sound like such a yummy lunch treat - yum! I've embarassed to admit that I've actually never tried kale. I saw that article too, and have been meaning to get some!
all 3 of those dishes look like ones i would definitely try. i need to buy some soba noodles, now that i know how to use them. :-) i love that each dish features veggies, too.
You beat me to the punch! I'm currently sitting on a bunch of pictures of a soba + zucchini noodle dish I made last week. So good right? Keep an eye out for it. I love tripling the volume with zucchini noodles! :)
