2 tbsps. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Bragg’s liquid amino acids
1 cup chopped raw organic tomatoe

Prepare pasta according to instructions on the package, set aside once cooled.
Sauté onions in 1 tbsp olive oil under a low flame until tender.
Add chicken broth and kale, sauté until you see the kale become bright green in color. Remove from heat.
Turn pasta in remaining olive oil and add to onions and kale. Add sliced tomatoes.
For more flavor you can sprinkle on Maine Coast Sea Vegetable Seasonings: Dulse with Garlic. For vegetarians, substitute water for chicken broth.
