I’m musing today about garlic…I know, it’s weird, but for me, not so much. I adore garlic. I’ve always adored garlic – even before I knew it that it’s actually one of the best medicinal foods around!
Now, pair together lots of garlic with nutrient loaded kale? You have a marriage made in Heaven. As much as I love kale, both the curly and black varieties, if I’m having an intestinal flare-up, I would substitute a softer green such as Swiss Chard and/or baby Bok Choy.
This recipe was inspired by Williams-Sonoma’s Spaghetti with Garlicky Greens which had my mouth watering.
