This is an easy and delicious meal that’s perfect to make when kale is in season. I love the versatility of this nutritional powerhouse, and wilted greens with pasta is one of my favorite combinations. Enjoy this spring pasta dish with an Italian sparkling water or your favorite vino with Italian music playing in the background.
