Kale pasta

We usually always get kale in our box. So I made another kale pasta dish. This time I left out the goat cheese for a little different taste. 

1 bunch of kale

2 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 small tomatoes cut in half

1/2 bag of whole wheat pasta

olive oil

1/2 jar of a pesto that Costco sells

2 cups of shredded Parmesan 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, celery, and celery leaves

Wash and cut small tomatoes in halves.

Heat the olive oil in a wok or skillet.

Add the garlic, onions and celery.

When the onions, garlic and celery are ready add the celery leaves and kale and 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.
