In a pot, cook the pasta according to directions
Meanwhile, heat a skillet, and add to it the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 5 mins
Once the onions is brown, add kale (cook a little longer if using frozen greens), then add the plant milk and seasoning, turning the heat down to let it simmer
Spoon out a small portion of the sauce in to a bowl, add the flour (or starch) and stir to mix until there’re no lumps
Pour the mixture back in to the sauce
Cook until the sauce thickens and the desired consistency is reached
When the pasta is done, add it to the skillet, mixing well with the sauce
