Instructions
In a saucepan bring a pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to directions. Add in your chopped kale at the last 2 minutes to slightly cook. Once pasta is done, drain and let cool for 5 minutes.
Toss pasta in seasoning ingredients and then add in the rest of your chopped veggies.
You can eat this hot or cold, i think it tastes better the next day and has more flavor.
*I use Einkorn pasta, its a non-hybridized wheat that is super easy to digest. If you use a gluten free pasta just know that it will harden in the fridge once it cools so its best to eat this hot.
