Spaghetti with Kale & Poached Egg


Spaghetti with Kale & Poached Egg
Description
This is a relatively easy, healthy meal that works great for lunch or dinner. It was also my first time EVER poaching an egg. The results were delicious and filling. The original recipe called for mushrooms and feta cheese, but I didn’t have mushrooms, and I’m not a huge fan of feta.
