Pasta with Kale and Lentils

So, you don't have a lot of spare cash but you want a meal that is healthy? Ta da!

My housemate in England found this. She was fantastic at finding healthy recipes on the Internet. We were far away from home, and the English food...has a lot to be desired. This dish is healthy and hearty, exactly what the NHS doctor ordered (NHS = national health service, the socialized health system in the UK). The kale is dark and full of nutrients. Also, green lentils are cheap and will stay in your pantry for forever, so you do not have to worry about your ingredients going bad and wasting you money. Everyone who has tasted this dish has put it in their weekly or biweekly dinner schedules.
