Ingredients
  • 2 zucchinis (1 pound)
  • 4 ounces spaghetti
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup hazelnuts, chopped
  • 2 cups roughly chopped kale
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season to taste with salt, it should taste as salty as the sea. Cook spaghetti until just under aldente. Reserve ½ cup or so of cooking liquid.
  2. Using a spiralizer fit with the spaghetti blade, form zucchini into spaghetti.
  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over a medium-high heat. When butter begins to brown, swirl the pan until the butter is a deep brown and smells very nutty. Add chopped hazelnuts, cook 1 minute until toasted. Add zucchini, kale and salt. Cook until zucchini and kale has softened, but zucchini still has a slight bite to it, about 5 minutes. Add spaghetti and parmesan cheese. Toss until combined. If necessary, add a little bit of starchy cooking liquid to the pan to loosen the sauce up.
  4. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with more parmesan cheese.
