Pasta with Mushrooms and Greens

Ingredients

Serves 4

• 3 cups Pictsweet frozen Cut Leaf Kale
• 1 (8 oz.) package macaroni noodles
• 1 cup Pictsweet frozen Sliced Mushrooms
• 1 cup Pictsweet frozen Chopped Onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• Grated parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

Bring 6 cups salted water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add frozen kale, return to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Remove cover, increase heat to medium and stir in pasta. Cook until pasta is al dente, about 12 minutes; drain well, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sauté mushrooms and onions in oil until onions begin to brown and liquid released has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes and cook just until they are hot through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the drained kale and pasta, salt and pepper and enough of pasta cooking liquid to moisten the mixture. Serve with parmesan cheese, if desired.
