I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really liked this recipe. The kale was cooked perfectly and didn't have a strong flavor.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken in this recipe. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed all the flavors of the sauce, and it was really delicious.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes for a little extra spice.

Made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit with the whole family! The kale and onion added a nice depth of flavor to the penne, and the Parmesan cheese added a creamy richness. Will definitely be making this again!
