Healthy Kale/Spinach Pasta

Most nights at Casa de Huebner are jam packed with gym time/run, playing with baby A, and getting ready for work the next day.  Dinner becomes an afterthought and we're usually scrambling to come up with something easy and healthy to make. 

Enter the kale (or spinach) pasta sauce recipe!  All the credit for this one goes to my husband.  I was at the gym one night and come home and he's created this super easy, super yummy pasta sauce!  And bonus!  It's healthy too!
