Ingredient IQ

Piment d’Espelette is a mild red chile from the French Basque region, where the harvested peppers are hung out on balconies and house walls to dry. A cornerstone of Basque cooking, the dried peppers take the place of black pepper in everything from condiments and sauces to poultry, seafood, and eggs.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Soak the sun-dried tomatoes; cook the fusilli

  • In a small bowl, soak the sun-dried tomatoes in very hot tap water until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry. 

Bring a medium sauce pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Separate the fusilli so the noodles don’t clump together during cooking. Add the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fusilli, reserving ½ cup [¾ cup] pasta cooking water. Meanwhile, prepare the olives. 

2

Prep the olives; cook the sauce

  • Cut the olives in half, checking for any pits. 

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, stir in the kale, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the sofrito and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the olives, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and reserved pasta cooking water and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the fusilli, and season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the fusilli and sauce to individual bowls. Garnish with the almonds, feta, and piment d'Espelette and serve.
