Amazingly delicious! My roommate made this one night and I couldn't stop stealing the leftovers out of her fridge. Then I went to the farmer's market specifically to get kale so that I could make it too.

I think that it can still be yummy if you cut out a bit of the salt, if you're looking to make it even healthier than it already is.

Absolutely delicious! I tossed in some halved yellow and red cherry tomatoes at the end for a punch of color. Really great recipe Giada!

Fantastico!!! love the flavor of the white wine, lime and red chili flake infused kale. Yummy in the tummy : this will become a one dish meal favorite in my quest for a leaner, healthier figure.

Great veggie side dish. As I cut out carbs, I'm looking for new ways to cook vegetables and this is a great way!

I love this recipe. I make it every other week when kale arrives in my CSA box. It goes really well with chicken and salmon, but to be frank, sometimes I cook up a big batch and snack on it cold from the frig. It's just too good and super easy.

This is such a tasty dish and yet so simple. I made it for Thanksgiving and it was one of the most popular sides. Great dish for any day. I followed the recipe as is but salted to taste and used about 1 to 1-1/2 tsp of kosher salt. I tasted along the way to make sure the beans & kale were tender but still had a bite and covered with a lid to help them along. Cooking everything together really allows the beans & kale to soak up all the great flavors of the dish.

Excellent flavor, and it's a light dish, change of pace from heavy cream-laden greens for holiday dinners. But as many reviewers have recommended, par boil or steam the green beans until they are crisp-tender, and I also like to quickly blanch the kale as well to remove some of the bitterness.

Saute the onions and mushrooms together first, then add the rest of the ingredients. I only use a splash of wine (or chicken or veggie stock would be just fine since I'm not cooking the beans or kale in the liquid, b/c they are already done when you add them if they are par boiled or blanched. This way the mushrooms & onions don't get soggy, they retain their carmelization.

This recipe was so flavorful. I didn't have any cremini mushrooms, so I made it without them. It still tasted delicious. The red pepper flakes really added a kick to it. That and the flavors of the wine, lemon juice and parmesan made a great combination

I'll follow another reviewer's advice and par-cook the beans and the kale. I left it on longer than advised and they were still too crunchy. Hopefully after some tweaking, I can come back in and give it a higher rating.
