Easy Kale & Tomato Pasta

What you need: 

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 5 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (16 ounce) package whole wheat pasta, cooked (I use rotini)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bunch kale, torn into bite-sized pieces
vegan Parmesan cheese, optional
dried parsley, optional

What you do: 

1. Heat olive oil in a large deep pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes; do not burn. Add tomatoes and bring to a gentle boil.
2. Add seasonings (basil, parsley, oregano, and red pepper flakes) and turn the heat down to simmer.
3. Add the kale to the pan and cover.
4. Once kale has cooked down, stir in pasta. Garnish with vegan Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
This is a very easy recipe that can be prepared in the time it takes to cook the pasta. Its healthy and cheap too.
