Kale Pasta

The days are getting longer and warmer, and I find myself pushing back dinner time later everyday. The kids are outside soaking up all the vitamin D they've been deprived of all winter, and quite frankly I'm in no hurry to get inside and start dinner either. So as the dinner time has been pushed from 6 to 7-7:30, I realize that in order to maximize my time outside as well, I will need basic, healthy, no prep dinners that can be done in close to 15 minutes. We eat a lot of pasta in our household, since it's one of the only ways that I can get the kids to eat a well rounded meal. Put a vegetable on Colin's plate and he won't touch it, put it in a pasta and its eaten. Here's one of our favorites this time of year:

Kale Pasta

1 pkg of whole wheat linguine

1 bunch of kale, coarsely chopped

Olive oil

1 avocado chopped

4 eggs whisked

cilantro chopped

salt and pepper

Cook the noodles according to the package. In a large skillet heat a little olive oil to med-high and add the kale, cook till wilted and remove. Put the cooked noodles in the skillet and add the eggs stir quickly till done and add the kale back in. Stir all together and remove to a bowl and add the cilantro and avocado and toss, salt and pepper as needed.
