Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

3. Add the chopped kale to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until wilted and tender.
4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the kale. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce.

6. Serve the kale pasta hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
