orecchiette with kale + balsamic coconut dressing

This is an amazing flavor combination of melted coconut oil, balsamic vinegar, and pasta w/farmer’s market kale and zucchini to give the dish some crunch and color. This is a super simple meal, really only 5 ingredients.

3-4 cups kale cut into long strips (Lacinato if possible – the one that looks like a dinosaur)
1 zucchini chopped into thin disks
8 oz orecchiette pasta
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (a sweeter thicker kind works best)
optional: goat cheese
optional: red pepper flakes
