How to make pasta with kale and tomatoes
This is a healthy dish that I like to make. Feel free to adjust ingredients to your own liking. I like to use a mix of regular pasta and wheat or multigrain. You can use whatever you like.

INGREDIENTS
Gather your ingredients (chicken broth and salt not pictured here).
Chicken broth I forgot to photograph with ingredients.
Rinse and chop up kale (I buy pre-washed kale in the bag, but I rinse anyway).
Kale that has been rinsed and chopped.
Cut tomatoes into small cubes.
Run 3 garlic cloves through garlic press and set aside.
Heat 2 tbspn's olive oil and add kale. Cook until wilted and deep green color. Add about 1 tspn crushed garlic, 1/2 tspn salt, black pepper (to taste), splash of lemon juice and chicken broth. Simmer.
Meanwhile, heat 3 tbspn's olive oil. Add remaining garlic. Cook until fragrant (about one minute or so). Do Not Burn Garlic!!! Add tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice.
Add already cooked pasta, kale mixture, feta and stir together. Heat until hot. Adjust seasoning to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
