one of the greatest things about summer is the quality and quantity of fresh foods. if you have the time this weekend, go find some super juicy tomatoes and make this simple pasta dish. the kale is so flavorful from the sweet tomatoes and fresh garlic. and try it out with the almond parmesan we just posted the other day - summery perfection!

1. put some pasta (preferably linguine or other long stringy pasta) on to cook.
2. meanwhile, place 1 or 2 large chopped tomatoes, a handful of shredded kale, a little (about 1 tsp) olive oil and 2 medium-large minced garlic cloves into a sautee pan on medium heat. 
3. cook everything for a couple of minutes, then turn the heat down as low as you can get it, cover the pan, and let it all steam until the pasta’s all the way cooked. the kale should be bright green and a little wilted.
4. serve everything piping hot with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and some almond parmesan. tomato/kale mixture makes enough for 2-3 servings.
