Kale Pesto Pasta
I love this hearty dish because it tastes incredible and is sure to please all.
This Kale Pesto Pasta recipe is great dish to sneak in veggies for nonveggie lovers. You can’t even taste the dark leafy kale…there’s no
bitterness at all.
You will fool yourself into thinking you are eating traditional pasta, and for
the extra picky eaters you may decide to peel your zucchini before
spiralizing to give the exact look of pasta. If you’ve purchased organic
zucchini try to keep the skin on for additional nutrition.
Also, this dish stores and presents well. So make ahead and take to your
next gathering.
Pasta Ingredients
•
4-5 Zucchini or Yellow Squash

Kale Pesto Ingredients
•
1 Bunch Kale
•
10-12 Basil Leaves
•
1 cup Cashews
•
1/2 cup Olive Oil
•
3 Garlic cloves
•
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
Toppings
•
1 pint Cherry Tomatoes, halved
Directions:
First, spiralize the zucchini to make pasta. It’s best if you have a veggie
spiralizer like this one here. If you don’t have a veggie spiralizer, you can
use a veggie peeler to make long thin strips but your pasta will be like
linguine pasta.
Next, roughly chop your kale. You don’t have to de-stem your kale leaves
but do discard the bottom pieces that are predominately stem. You can
save these pieces to use in your green juice or green smoothie. You are
now ready to add your pesto ingredients into your blender or food
processor and blend until creamy.
Mix together the kale pesto with the veggie pasta and top with your
chopped cherry tomatoes.
Serve and smile as you enjoy every bite of this delicious veggie pasta.
