Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups chopped kale stems removed
  • 1 whole onion
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1.5 cups cooked pasta like orzo or small shells
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt to taste

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until soft.
  • Add ground beef to the skillet, browning it thoroughly while breaking it up as it cooks.
  • Stir in the chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet.
  • Once the broth is simmering, add cooked pasta, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  • Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes for flavors to meld.
  • Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
