Simple Pasta, with Mussels

Linguine with Mussels and Kale
Serves 6

1 lbs Linguine
Olive Oil
1 med onion, thin 1/4 moons
2 cloves garlic, superthin sliced
1 tsp Chile flakes
2 lbs cultivated Mussels, prepared
1 small bunch Kale, prepped and rough chopped

Cook pasta, reserve 1 cup liquid
Put kale into the microwave for a little while, until it shrinks a bunch. This way it fits into the pan easier.
Saute onion, garlic and chile. Season.
Add mussels, and cook covered until they just start to open. Add kale, mix, and cook until the mussels are done.
Mix with the linguine, and cooking water if necessary.
