Whole Wheat Penne with Zucchini, Kale, and Tomatoes

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, de-germed and crushed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or 3 small dried thai chiles, crushed
1 lb zucchini or other summer squash, diced
1 cup kale leaves roughly chopped (you just want the leaves, remove stems first)
1 cup canned whole tomatoes
3 tablespoons goat cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 portions whole wheat penne pasta

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, de-germed and crushed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or 3 small dried thai chiles, crushed
1 lb zucchini or other summer squash, diced
1 cup kale leaves roughly chopped (you just want the leaves, remove stems first)
1 cup canned whole tomatoes
3 tablespoons goat cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 portions whole wheat penne pasta

Directions:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, in the meantime prep all your veggies and heat a large skillet to medium heat. When the water starts to boil, add pasta and set your timer. Meanwhile add oil and onions to skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, or until onions start to soften. Add zucchini, garlic, chilies and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often until browned about 6-8 minutes. Continue adding veggies and sautéing; add kale for 1 minute, and finally tomatoes. Give it all a good stir and let simmer for a minute or two, or until pasta is ready. Save a little pasta water just in case. Add pasta to skillet, crumble goat cheese on top and toss well. Add salt and pepper and correct to taste. Serve hot.
