- .75 pound pasta- Cavatelli or Gemelli
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes whole
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 cloves garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander seed optional
- 1 ½ cups packed Tuscan kale about 3-4 stems or 2 ½ cups of baby spinach, chopped

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Just before draining, reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- While the pasta cooks heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil. Once the butter melts and the bubbles go away, add in whole cherry tomatoes. Cook till they burst, about 6-8 min, stirring occasionally.
- Turn heat to low. Add crushed red pepper, minced garlic, coriander, and kale or spinach. Cook for 3 min, or until kale wilts slightly. Salt and pepper to taste. If the pasta is still cooking remove the skillet from the heat till the pasta is done.
- When the pasta is ready, return the skillet to the burner on low heat. Add goat cheese, ½ cup of the reserved pasta water, and the pasta. Toss until combined. Add more pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Remove from the heat and enjoy!
