Step 1
Boil the box of
Jumbo Pasta Shells (1 box)
according to package directions, but pull them off the heat about 1 minute before al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse with very cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain the noodles and set aside.
Step 2
In a large saute pan over medium high heat add the
Olive Oil (15 mL)
and
Mushrooms (455 g)
. Saute until the mushrooms brown and give up most of their liquid.
Step 3
Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. Add the
Kale (1 bunch)
to the pan along with some water, bring the liquid to a boil and cover with a tight fitting lid.
Step 4
Steam the kale for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted, but still bright green. Transfer the kale to a fine mesh sieve and press on the kale with the back of a spoon to squeeze out all of the excess water and set aside.
