For a richer flavor, consider using roasted red peppers instead of raw. You can roast them yourself or buy them jarred. Tuscan kale (also known as lacinato or dinosaur kale) is recommended for its tender texture and slightly sweeter flavor. However, curly kale can be substituted; just be sure to massage it with olive oil and lemon juice for a few minutes before cooking to help soften it. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity. If you don't have feta, goat cheese or ricotta salata would also be delicious in this dish. This pasta is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
