From the Test Kitchen

Anyone who’s crazy about kale knows it’s a leafy green superfood that’s delicious served raw, like in a salad. Here, the leaves are roasted until crispy and browned, just like kale chips. With chewy Fregola Sarda, toasted pasta from the island of Sardinia, and juicy roasted tomato, this meal is not only healthful and jam-packed with flavor, but covers a spectrum of textures that make it fun to eat too.

Roughly chop all but a few basil leaves and add them to a medium bowl along with the minced shallot, the juice of half the lemon, and some salt and pepper. Whisk in about 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to make a dressing. Add the drained fregola to a medium bowl and stir in about half the dressing, depending on your taste.
