Butternut Squash Ravioli On A Bed of Kale

This was quick and easy, made with some ready to prepare food items.  The result was delicious! I'll have the leftovers tomorrow.

Prepare pasta and kale:

- Boil water, put in the ravioli (Cucina Fresca, Butternut Ravioli)
- Turn the heat down and top the pot with a steamer on top of which you put 1.3 cups of kale. As the kale wilts,
put it on the serving plate.

Prepare the marinara:
I used a Marinara Sauce made by Souper Natural. Made in Tigard, with all natural ingredients, and no sweetener, no sugar product.
- Heat up the sauce in microwave or on stovetop.

Put things together:
- Strain the pasta, and return to the pot.
- Add the heated marinara sauce, stir.

Serve:
Put about 1/2 the pasta with about 1/2 of the sauce
on top of the bed of 1.3 cups of kale on the serving plate.

Theoretically, the ravioli package has 2.5 servings (I used 1.25), and the marinara sauce has 4 servings (I used 2).

Rated a 4.76 on the Kale Scale.
