Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water boils, peel, then thinly slice shallot.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), then shallots and kale. Cook, stirring occasionally, until kale has softened, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer cooked kale and shallots to a plate and set aside.
Add rigatoni to the pot of boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. While rigatoni cooks, re-heat the same large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for ppl), then beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper.
When rigatoni is tender, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl). Drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
Add sour cream, beef, kale mixture, cream cheese, pesto, reserved pasta water and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the large pot with the rigatoni. Return pot to the stove over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often until, sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
Divide creamy beef rigatoni between bowls. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.
