Step 1

Heat the oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the pork, salt, paprika, and onion powder and cook for 4 minutes, until the pork is browned, stirring with a flat-end wooden spoon to break up clumps.

Step 3

Add the kale and cook for 2 minutes, until wilted, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic and rosemary, and cook for 2 minutes, just long enough to unlock the aromatics.

Step 5

Add the vinegar and wine and use the wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits up off the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Stir in the pasta water and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Toss with pasta and ciliegine 1 minute before serving so that the ciliegine retain some of their shape but soften and stretch out a little.
