A different version of a kale pasta recipe

This is a kale pasta dish that I make a lot. I try to change the recipe each time.

1 bunch of kale

1 cup of chopped celery

celery leaves - I usually use what leaves came on the stalk. I try to buy stalks with the most amount of leaves that I can get. If I have extra I save them in a zip lock bag.

1 cup onions

5 cloves of garlic

desired amount of yellow tomatoes cut in half

1/2 bag of whole wheat pasta

olive oil

1/2 jar of a garlic herb sauce in a jar that I had bought at Mother's Market (You can make your own sauce. Or you can buy a different sauce. I only used a half jar because this sauce is a little runny. So you could use a full jar of a thicker sauce.)

1 TSP of chopped fresh or dried basil

! TSP of dried oregano

1 TSP of chopped fresh or dried parsley

1 pack of gruyere cheese

Heat the water to boil the pasta. Cook the pasta per the directions on the package.

Wash and pull the leaves from the stems of the kale.

Chop or mince the fresh garlic.

Chop the onions and celery, celery leaves, basil (if fresh) and parsley (if fresh).

Wash and cut small yellow tomatoes in halves.


Cut the cheese up so that it will melt easier.

Heat the olive oil in a wok or skillet.

Add the onions and celery.

When the onions are ready, add the garlic, basil, oregano, parsley and celery leaves.

Cook until the garlic is ready, then add the kale. Cook the kale until it is just wilted and tender.

Add the jar of sauce (or make your own sauce), cheese, pasta and tomatoes.

Cook until the cheese is melted.
