Farfalle with Kale and Ham

I have posted this sauce before on this blog, but it tasted so different with this combination of ingredients that I thought it warranted another post.  I struggle every year to find things to make with greens.  This pasta dish might also warrant repeating, since it uses kale.

Serves 3

2 cups farfalle
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chopped kale
1/2 cup diced ham
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt and garlic salt to taste

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.  Drain and set aside.
2. If you have not already done so, now is a good time to chop the kale and mince the garlic.
3. In same saucepan as pasta was cooked in, melt butter over medium heat.  Add garlic to pan and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.  Add ham to the butter and garlic and stir until ham is fragrant. Mix kale into garlic and ham, stirring and sauteing until kale is wilted.  Toss pasta into kale mixture and remove from heat.  Pour sour cream and Parmesan cheese over hot pasta mixture.  Stir well until sour cream is evenly distributed and Parmesan cheese is melted.  Serve immediately.
