Spaghetti with Cherry Tomatoes and Kale

I often make some form of this fresh tomato and olive oil pasta. One of my favourites...

Ingredients:

2 cups cherry tomatoes

1 - 1 1/2 cups chopped kale

1/2 cup olive oil

3 tsps minced garlic

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp dry oregano

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

pinch of turmeric

pinch of red pepper flakes

1/2 lb spaghetti

fresh parsley 

Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add the tomatoes and cook on medium heat about 10 minutes, adding the garlic in the last minute.

Add the kale, stir together, then remove from heat. You could also use spinach or arugula.

Combine the tomato paste with the sugar, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, turmeric and red pepper flakes and add to the tomatoes.

Cook the spaghetti then drain and toss with the sauce.

Sometimes we have it tossed with chopped cooked chicken.

Serves 3-4

Add fresh parsley to serve.
