Step 1

Remove the stems of the kale leaves, and chop them into small ribbons with a sharp knife.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil.

Step 3

When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and garlic. Cook the onion and garlic until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped kale to the skillet, mixing it into the onions and garlic.

Step 5

Let the kale cook down until softened, about 5-8 minutes. This will take a little longer than if you were doing this with spinach, as kale is a heartier green.

Step 6

When the kale is wilted, pour the heavy cream into the skillet. Stir it into the kale and other ingredients. Then immediately lower the heat so the cream doesn’t curdle.

Step 7

Add the cream cheese, too, and cook the ingredients until the cream cheese has melted and the cream sauce coats the kale.

Step 8

Serve warm, and enjoy immediately after the dish is cooked through.
