Add kale to boiling water and cook 10 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer kale to ice water. Once cool (after 10 to 20 seconds), transfer kale to colander to drain.
Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook for about 2 minutes, until golden. Stir in chili flakes and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is golden.
Add kale all at once and toss to combine. Stir in salt. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and kale is tender-crisp.
