Indulge in a healthy, flavorful kale pesto pasta any day.
Ingredients:
  • 200g broccoli, cut into florets
  • 80g trimmed kale, chopped
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp dried red chilli flakes, to taste
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 10.60 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 250g spelt pasta or wholemeal pasta
  • 80g (1/3 cup) 97% fat free semi-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 50g goat's cheese, crumbled
Instructions:
  • Steam the broccoli over gently simmering water until tender crisp, approximately 2 minutes. Add the kale for the last minute of cooking. Refresh in cold water and drain thoroughly.
  • In a food processor, blend broccoli, kale, chili flakes, garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, saving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
  • Heat the pasta in the pan over medium heat, then stir in pesto, tomato, and enough reserved liquid to coat the pasta. Serve in bowls and top with goat’s cheese.
