Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. (Cover pot to make it boil faster.) Cook pasta according to package instructions and drain.

Step 2

While pasta cooks, add chicken broth, wine, and pesto to a 12" skillet. Stir and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to cook off the alcohol from the wine. Add red pepper flakes to taste if desired.

Step 3

Add shrimp and kale, and gently stir often. (See note below regarding shrimp sizes.) Cook until shrimp are pink and kale is wilted, approximately three minutes. Turn off heat.

Step 4

Stir in cooked pasta. Sprinkle individual servings with parmesan if desired.
