How to Make Harissa Spaghettini Recipe
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- While the water heats, prepare the garlic: Finely mince 4 large garlic cloves or crush them to a paste using a knife or mortar and pestle.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of harissa paste, and 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.
- Add 8 ounces of spaghettini to the boiling water. Cook according to package directions, until al dente.
- About 2 minutes before the pasta is done, add 1 cup of chopped kale to the pasta water. Cook for 60 seconds.
- Drain the pasta and kale, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Add half of the harissa dressing to the now-empty pasta pot. Add the drained pasta, kale, 1/2 cup of halved Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup of toasted pine nuts, and the zest of 1 lemon.
- Toss everything together over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, adding a little pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately on a platter or in bowls. Drizzle with the remaining harissa olive oil and enjoy!
