"This comforting, cheesy baked pasta will convince kids and the most kale-averse adults to fall in love this leafy green. This easy to make casserole is a complete main dish in one pan, but you can also serve it as a hearty side dish alongside roasted chicken, pork chops, or any protein. Best of all, the dish comes together in 30 minutes or less. Buy pre-chopped, pre-washed bagged kale and pre-shredded cheese to save prep time...."
