PASTA WITH KALE PESTO AND ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
A recipe invented by Melissa Clark for her husband the day before he ran the New York City marathon. This is a real pretty and healthful dish for those interested in loading up on carbs before a race, or just eating well. Great as a one-dish meal for vegetarians. Modified a bit for my tastes. You might want to steam the kale instead of boil it, as I heard it removes some bitterness. From a November issue of the New York Times.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a vegetable peeler to peel sqash, halve it lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Dice into 1-inch pieces, toss with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet in even layer with space between them. Roast, stirring once or twice, until golden brown and tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop kale into boiling water and cook for 45 seconds. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer to ice water. Bring water back to a boil, adding more if necessary so there is enough to cook pasta.

PASTA WITH KALE PESTO AND ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
Here is a one-pot meal designed explicitly for the hungriness of a long-distance runner, with garlicky kale pesto and sweet roasted butternut squash. Making the pesto with kale instead of basil gives it a structure the basil-rich original lacks, and it interacts beautifully with the crisp-and-soft smoothness of the roasted squash. A terrific dish.
