    Ingredients

  • Kosher salt 
  • 1/2 pound pasta, of choice
  • 1/2 cup good-quality olive oil 
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • Freshly cracked pepper 
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper 
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 4 leaves of lacinato kale
  • 1 small head of raddichio
  • 1 (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts, drained and quartered 
  • 1/2 (14-ounce) can of green, pitted olives, drained and sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, peeled and diced 
  • 1 ounce of Parmesan-Reggiano, finely grated

    Directions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package’s instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside. 
  2. To a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, a bunch of rounds of black pepper, crushed red pepper, oregano and a few liberal pinches of salt. Give the dressing a taste and adjust the salt according to taste. Add the kale and mix, massaging the kale in order to make it slightly softer.
