This was pretty good with some changes. After following the recipe I found the kale a little strong so I added more garlic and some fresh spinach. Originally we found it a little bland. I also added some oregano. Do not skip the parm here and do use fresh grated. It plays a big part and really adds to the dish!

Great pasta dish! Light and healthy with great flavor. I don't care for onions so left them out, otherwise made as directed. Really enjoyed this easy-to-make and flavorful dish - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2009
