Pasta with Kale
 
 
I was on my own for dinner the other night, so after staring blankly at the cupboards, then the fridge, I decided to combine some of my favorite ingredients for dinner: tri-color pasta, kale, mushrooms, and miso. For some added crunch (and protein) you could throw in some pine nuts or chopped cashews.

Ingredients
  • 8-10 oz tri-color rotini
  • 1 bunch kale, chopped
  • 5-6 mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 Tbs Earth Balance margarine
  • 1 Tbs yellow miso
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
Directions
  1. Cook the pasta until al dente and drain.
  2. Meanwhile, steam the kale and mushrooms 3-5 minutes---just until they're tender. Usually, once the kale turns bright green, it's ready.
  3. Using the same pot you cooked the pasta in, melt the margarine and garlic.
  4. Stir in the miso and blend it in.
  5. Add the kale and pasta and combine well. Enjoy!
