Ingredients
Small package of 90% lean ground beef (more than 1 pound, less than 2 pounds. For purposes of calorie calculation, I used 2 lbs)1 large onion, chopped4 cloves garlic, minced1 Tbsp olive oil2 red bell peppers, chopped4 cups chopped kale1 big jar Classico Tomato Basil Spaghetti Sauce1 box Barilla Whole Wheat Penne Pasta1 can Muir Glen diced tomatoes
Directions
Boil the pasta per the package instructions.
When you put the pot of water on to boil, you will have enough time to make the sauce:
In a large pot on medium-high head, add the olive oil and onion and saute until the onion is glassy (about 3 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Add the chopped pepper and kale, and cook 5 minutes. Add the sauce and the diced tomatoes and bring to a boil, then shut off the heat. When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add to the sauce (reserve some of the pasta water to thin the sauce if necessary). Stir everything together.
