Kale Mac N' Cheeze


I stumbled upon this post on a Kale Mac N' Cheeze recipe, and it looked so yummy that I had to try it out ASAP. I basically used the same recipe, but didn't have all the same ingredients. Here's my modified version of the recipe below!

1 pound whole wheat penne pasta or macaroni
