Lemony Kale Spaghetti
For this dish, as the pasta bubbles away toward al dente, kale strips are tossed with oil, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice to begin to break down the kale's tough fibers. The pasta is then added into to the mix —with a touch of pasta water for added moisture — then generously sprinkled with pecorino cheese.
Salsa Verde Spaghetti
Spaghetti gets a Mexican twist when A Mind "Full" Mom tops her pasta with spicy salsa verde made with roasted tomatillos, onions, and jalapeños. She then garnishes her green dish with lime juice and cilantro. Check out her recipe here.
Spaghetti alla Checca
To keep your mozzarella cubes from becoming stringy and chewy, freeze them briefly before adding them to the hot pasta. They'll come to the proper temperate without melting.
