Kale Pesto Pasta
Ingredients
Pesto made with kale adds another delicious option for consuming this popular green. If kale isn't your jam, reach for your favorite in-season green. Spinach would be mild in flavor. Arugula would offer a nutty spice. Beet greens would provide a pleasant parsley-like bitterness. The important thing is to enjoy more greeny, leafy veg.
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 large cloves garlic, roughly chopped
4 cups kale leaves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, or more to taste
1 lb whole-grain pasta
3 ripe plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Fresh black pepper
