Steps:
- Mince 4 cloves of garlic and chop 2 cups of kale or green of choice.
- Remove the dark green woody tops and hairy bottom portion of 2 large leeks and discard. Slice the lighter green portion of the leeks into thin slices. Place the leek slices in a bowl of cold water to remove any dirt if necessary. Scoop the leek slices into a strainer or colander using a slotted spoon or spider strainer. Pat the leeks dry with a towel or paper towel.
- Heat a skillet to medium and add 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. Once heated, add the garlic, leeks, and 1/4 tsp. kosher salt and pepper. Saute for 8-10 minutes, stirring often. The leeks will cook down and caramelize a bit.
- Boil a pot of water and prepare 1 package of Barilla Red Lentil Penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with 1 cup of reserved pasta water, the chopped kale, and another 1/4 tsp. kosher salt and pepper. Stir to combine and saute for 4-5 minutes or until the kale wilts down a bit.
- Add the zest of 2 lemons to the pasta using a microplane or small grater. Add the juice of the lemons as well. Add 1 cup of shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese to the pasta. Stir to combine and cook for another minute or so.
- To Serve: Garnish with walnuts or nut of choice along with minced basil or fresh herb of choice and another sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.Other topping ideas include capers, artichokes, or olives.

LEEK & LEMON LINGUINE
This simple pasta recipe has bold lemony flavor. It's nice with a salad for a light supper or serve it along with seared fish, shrimp or chicken. Vary it as you please--add a bit of crumbled goat cheese, chopped rinsed capers, shelled edamame or thin strips of yellow bell pepper.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until just tender or according to package directions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid and drain the pasta in a colander.
- Meanwhile, finely grate 1 tablespoon zest (see Tip) and squeeze 1/4 cup juice from the 2 lemons; set the juice aside. Pat leek slices dry. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leek, the lemon zest, 1/4 cup parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the leek is lightly browned and softened, about 6 minutes.
- Add the pasta, 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid, the reserved lemon juice and the remaining 1/4 cup parsley to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is mostly absorbed, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the remaining 1/2 cup liquid, if desired. Remove from the heat. Discard the garlic. Toss the pasta with 1/2 cup Parmesan and 2 tablespoons chives. Transfer to a serving bowl or bowls; sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and 2 tablespoons chives and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

LEMONY DILL SALMON PASTA SALAD
Most pasta salads have a mayonnaise base, which I thought was too heavy for a salmon pasta salad. I swapped in a vinaigrette of sorts, with just a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a touch of indulgence. It's the perfect way to use any leftover salmon.
