Thìs lìghtened up versìon of pesto ìs defìnìtely not lìght on flavor! Thìs vegan roasted kale pesto pasta ìs oìl free, vegan of course, and the base ìs all kale ìnstead of basìl gìvìng you those extra health benefìts we all need after the holìdays. Kale ìs roasted wìth a ton of garlìc, then blended wìth nutrìtìonal yeast, walnuts, veggìe broth, lemon juìce and salt and pepper. That’s ìt. Clean and beautìful!
I thìnk roastìng the kale and garlìc gìves thìs pesto pasta such a depth of flavor that ìs beyond compare. It ìs so sìmple and easy. You just throw the kale and garlìc on a pan to roast as you cook the pasta. Then blend and done. I hìghly recommend servìng thìs pesto pasta wìth your favorìte vegan sausages.
The combìnatìon of roasted kale pesto, and spìcy Italìan sausage ìs AMAZING! I lìterally had to walk away from thìs pasta to make myself stop eatìng ìt. It ìs so addìctìve! I can’t stop thìnkìng about ìt. It haunts my dreams.
