Cooking & Baking Supplies

  • Food Processor

Ingredients  

  • 12 oz gluten free pasta
  • 1 cup tomatoes, halved (approximately 8-10 tomatoes)

Kale Hemp Pesto

  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups curly kale, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • Cook your pasta al dente (a little bit firm) according to package instructions and drain the pot leaving a little bit of liquid in the pot to make sure the noodles stay moist.
  • While the pasta is cooking, cut your tomatoes in half and set these aside.
  • Make the pesto by mincing your garlic first and then destemming your kale by removing the center stem from the leaves. Add all of the pesto ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until everything is mixed together well and pesto is smooth. Add extra salt or pepper to taste and then remove from the blender.
  • Mix the pesto into the pasta and then top with the tomatoes and ENJOY!
