Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 5 to 8 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the beef
- Meanwhile, remove the kale leaves from the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the onions and garlic. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
- Add the beef* and kale; season with the spices and S&P.
- Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
- To the pan, add the cream, demi-glace, pasta, ½ the reserved cooking water and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your bowls.
- Garnish with the cheese. Bon appétit!
