Method
Step 1
Add pesto to a very large skillet. Warm over low heat, stirring frequently.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 4 to 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil; add salt to taste and the Fettuccine; stir gently.
Step 3
Cook pasta according to package directions, adding the kale during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat and drain well, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
Step 4
Stir the pasta into the pesto and warm through on low. If needed, stir in up to 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water to reach desired consistency. Serve, topped with tomatoes, walnuts, and lemon zest.
Step 5
Customize it: For a bit of added protein use baby spinach instead of the kale, or top with white beans.

Fettuccine
In Italy, the first pasta shapes were made by hand with simple tools. Fettuccine are made from flat sheets of pasta cut into ribbon-shaped strands (known as "fettucce").
