Spaghetti with Kale in Vodka Sauce

Kale is currently in season, and with the right finesse this bitter leafy green can be delicious. (Kyler insists that kale is a garnish, not for eating - making me determined to prove him wrong).

Ingredients:
2 serving spaghetti
1/4 pound Tuscan kale cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 diced large tomato
1 scallion stalk sliced
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup jarred vodka sauce (or your own if you're feeling extra motivated)
red pepper flakes, cayenne and salt to taste
(serves 2)

Cook spaghetti according to directions. Put a frying pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Toss kale in olive oil until wilted. Add vodka sauce and tomatoes. Turn down heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Season with cayenne, red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Add cooked pasta, sprinkle with scallions and stir.
