Recipe from Home Chef. 

I decided to choose a seafood dish and this vegetarian pasta dish this week on my Home Chef meal calendar. Both meals were hearty and flavorful, but also easy to make and a hit with my kids!
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add mushrooms and olive oil. 
Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a large pot and add pasta and a pinch of salt. 
Cook for 9-11 minutes and drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
While the mushrooms and pasta cook, destem and chop the shallot and kale. 
Add shallots and cook for another 2 minutes.
 Then season with salt and pepper.
Stir in kale…
and reserved pasta water…
and sun dried tomatoes and cook for one more minute.
Once the kale wilts, remove from heat. 
Add pasta to the pan.
Now add pesto in the pan with the vegetables.
Toss everything together. 
Add pasta to two plates and top with Asiago cheese.

    I would try the Cajun Tilapia with Jambalaya Pilaf. It sounds healthy and delicious! With so many recipes to choose from, it was hard to choose just one!

    with potatoes, corn, and garlic butter sounds really really good. I like how their menu changes so it doesnt get boring!
