Beef Meatballs with Orecchiette, Kale and Pine Nuts

This is from Gordon Ramsay's Home Cooking, one of Rose's favorite cookbooks. She made it for dinner last night and it was simply fabulous. The only flaw was that the meatballs were unexpectedly delicate and fell apart some when she tossed them with the pasta. However, that was a small thing overall. Also, anyone who says that a pound of pasta serves 4 people is feeding giants. This feeds 8 people or 4 who want a second meal or leftovers. I picked up the recipe transcription from Savoury Image where you can see a photo of this delicious meal. Beef Meatballs with Orecchiette, Kale and Pine Nuts Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 1 lb. dried orecchiette pasta 2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced 8 oz. kale, shredded sea salt and freshly ground black pepper ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to taste For the meatballs: 1 small onion, peeled and finely diced 2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Oli
