Author Notes: I made this the other day when I didn't have much time but wanted something delicious and healthy. It can really be made with any type of pasta and any leafy vegetable. The lentils add the protein for a complete one dish meal. I loaded up with more kale and lentils than pasta, but you could make it with any proportions you want. - bexwithanx6

Serves 2

1/2 bag Whole Wheat Spagetti
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1/2 Diced Yellow Onion
1 bunch Kale (torn)
1 cup Dried Lentils
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Cook lentils according to instructions.
Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add the onions and cook until translucent.
Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes until it softens.
Add kale and cook until wilted.
Combine pasta, lentils and kale with any extra oil. Add a few more tablespoons of olive oil if the dish is a bit dry.
