Saucy Kale and Tofu Pasta

Serves 4 (or freezes well)

Ingredients:

250g kale

3-4 roasted garlic cloves

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lemon

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 block silken tofu

100g roasted mix nuts (optional)

80g pasta shape of your choice per person + pasta water

salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Blanch kale in boiling water for 2 minutes, then run under cold water

Squeeze out the water

In a food processor add kale, roasted garlic, and olive oil and blend to combine

Scrape down the sides and add tofu, yeast, lemon juice and nuts (if using them) and blend

Add salt and pepper to taste and blend again

Add your pasta into boiling salted water and cook until al dente (or to your preference!) saving a ladle or two of the starchy water to add to your sauce to loosen

Pop your pasta into a bowl, add your sauce and top with anything else you fancy - I like a bit of basil, pine nuts and parmesan cheese, chilli flakes would also go nicely - enjoy!
