Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.

    Step 3

    While the oven is preheating, place the pine nuts on a cookie sheet in the oven to lightly toast. Keep an eye on them, as they will take only a couple of minutes to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

    Step 4

    Pour the pasta into the pot, add 2/3 cup water, and stir to make an even layer.

    Step 5

    Scatter on the onion and distribute the goat cheese in chunks.

    Step 6

    Distribute the sun-dried tomatoes on top of the cheese and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, basil, and vinegar.

    Step 7

    Add the mushrooms and finish with as much kale as you can fit into the pot. Make sure the lid fits tightly.

    Step 8

    Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
