Which pasta is best for pasta with kale pesto?

Any pasta of your choice can be used, but favorites are spaghetti, linguine, or penne.

Why do I need to briefly cook (blanch) the kale and rinse it with cold water?

By blanching the kale for 3 minutes in salted water, the texture becomes a bit softer and the kale loses its raw, bitter taste. The cold water immediately stops the cooking process, allowing your kale pesto to retain that beautifully bright green color!
