Goat Cheese & Kale Pasta

With my Dad being Italian and my Mom Mexican, it’s safe to say that I’m a lover of the two cuisines. They both offer an enormous amount of good food, and that’s what I live for {well, mostly}.When Cal-Organics was kind enough to send me this incredible bunch of gorgeous kale, I knew I wanted to use it in a recipe, but I wasn’t exactly sure how. I’d never had kale before, so not only did I not know how it tasted, but I had no clue what to pair it with.

Here’s what I did know; that Cal-Organic has been dedicated to organic farming and maintaining a balance with nature for over 25 years. That’s definitely something to feel good about when it comes to feeding my family. With this knowledge, I knew that, however it was prepared, I couldn’t go wrong.

What I decided on was this delicious pasta dish. We’re big cheese lovers here, so when I found this recipe, I had to make it. The great thing about pasta is that is freezes well, which means I can make a double batch and freeze half for a quick meal in a pinch. Just reheat and serve.
