8 ounces penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup sherry
1/2 pound kale, stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped
1 (14.1 ounce) can potato leek soup
1 cup vegetable broth
1 (5 ounce) can tuna packed in water, drained
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup herb seasoned bread crumbs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add penne pasta, and cook 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Mix in onion and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the celery and bell pepper and continue cooking for another five minutes. Mix in the garlic, salt and pepper and continue cooking 3 minutes. Pour in sherry; stir in the kale and cover. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale has wilted.
Transfer wok mixture to a large bowl. Mix in the cooked pasta, soup, vegetable broth, and tuna. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with a layer of mozzarella followed by a layer of bread crumbs. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
