Black kale—sometimes called cavolo nero—is dark green and becomes very tender when cooked. If black kale is unavailable, use regular kale.
This is pretty good, but between the caramelized onions and parsnips, the dish was a bit too sweet for our tastes. A little bit of salty bacon would help balance the dish, but then of course it wouldn't be vegetarian any more. I used regular kale.
Pretty good recipe, I used water chesnuts instead of parsnips because I couldn't find any at the store and I wanted to keep that crunchy texture in. One complaint is that there wasn't a lot of the vegetable mix compared to the pasta. Next time I'll scale the pasta down.
A great, hearty vegetarian dinner. I used regular kale, it blended well with the caramelized onions and parsnips. It takes a little while to cook, but your house will smell so good!
My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. Lots of interesting flavors and textures. Will definitely make again.
I was a little wary of the parsnips and kale, but figured the caramelized onions and thyme would smooth things out - and they did. This is hearty, interesting and so very satisfying - a good solid vegetarian meal. thanks CL!
