Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until tender. 

  2. Stir in the veggie crumbles, water and Italian seasonings. Cover and cook until crumbles are cooked through, about 4 minutes.

  3. Pour 2-1/2 cups vegetable broth into the mixture and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium high heat until broth is absorbed, about 10 to 12 minutes. 

  4. Add remaining broth, kale and chili flakes and cook over medium heat until pasta is done, about 14 minutes.

  5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt. Serve hot.
