Aglio e Olio Pasta with Kale and Shrimp

Tonight we’ll incorporate dark, leafy greens into a bowl of aglio e olio pasta. (That’s pronounced “ah-lyo ay oh-lee-oh. The g is silent.) The aglio e olio sauce is tweaked with a little infusion of truffle oil. Browned mushrooms, smoky tempeh and freshly cooked shrimp add umami to this flavor festival worthy of any upscale bistro.
