Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Heat a large pan over medium heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and let it heat up.

Add 4 oz of pancetta to the pan and cook until crispy and brown.

Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Add the chopped kale to the pan and stir into the oil, cooking for about 1 minute until wilted.

Pour in 1 cup of water and let the kale steam for about 6 to 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, add the crispy pancetta back into the pan.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir everything together.
