Feel Good Kale Sauce with PastaIngredients (use vegan versions): 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot
1/2 onion
2 large kale leaves, large stems removed
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup unsweetened or plain soymilk
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
Salt and pepper
3 to 4 servings cooked pasta (I like Angel Hair)
Directions:The above measurements are estimates.
1) Cook your pasta. If you do this simultaneously, you can have dinner ready in 12 minutes or less.
2) While the pasta is cooking, put the carrot, onion, kale leaves, and garlic cloves into the food processor to create a pulp. It shouldn't be a liquid, but just very pulpy and small little bits.
3) Heat the olive oil in a pan, and add the vegetable pulp. Saute it for about 5 minutes, and add salt and pepper as you cook it. When it is heated through, pour the soymilk into the mixture and allow it to get hot and a little bit bubbly. Add the nutritional yeast, and mix it in and keep cooking it. You can add more soymilk if you would like a thinner sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
This sauce is delicious mixed into pasta, and I feel good every time I eat it (which is about once per week). My kids prefer it as a side dish. All the omnis I have served it to like it as well!
Source of recipe: Hoopy~D gave me the idea for this sauce, and I have run with it and make it all the time! It's my go to recipe because I usually have all of the ingredients on hand.
Makes: 3 to 4 servings, Preparation time: 2 minutes, Cooking time: 10 minutes
