I love easy recipes and anything Italian! This easy Beef and Kale Pasta Bake will be ready and on the table in about 30 minutes. I prefer using Rotini pasta in this recipe since rotini always seems to hold the marinara sauce the best.

If you're reading this in December Thrive Life has ground beef, kale, tomato dices and chopped onions all on sale under the monthly Delivery. You can check that information out here.

The Thrive Life cheeses aren't on sale this month but have you used freeze dried cheese before? If you're like me you might not eat enough of a certain cheese that you buy before it starts to get those lovely green spots. Ewwww! Thrive Life removes that because you only use what you need and the rest stays in the can and won't be green by the time you use it again. Rehydrating (or refreshing) freeze dried cheese is easy. You can watch my video here. 

Now back to this recipe...using Thrive ground beef makes life easy (and quick) because you don't have to fry it and drain the grease. All you need to do is rehydrate it or in this case toss it into the mix. That's the great thing about freeze dried meats because they are so simple to use and cuts your kitchen time in half (if not more).

​Why use Thrive Life Freeze Dried Foods?

Thrive freeze dried foods are different than any other kind you’ll find on the market.

• These foods won’t spoil in a few days…or even a few weeks. They’re good.
• You won’t be thawing, degreasing, or cutting raw meat.
• You won’t be chopping veggies or washing and peeling fruit.
• There’s an extra burst of flavor you won’t find anywhere else! Just take a bite!
• Just toss in any meal or refresh (rehydrate) in warm water.
• Free of GMOs, preservatives, artificial nonsense and chemical junk
• The Nutrilock Promise! It's our little secret that makes our food higher in nutrients and freeze-dried fresh all year long. It's a rigorous 41 step process that one Thrive Life owns, and it takes that wild, naturally ripened food and gently locks in the nutrients and flavor without the use of preservatives. Can the grocery store do that?
