Ingredients
For the pesto
- 1 cup broccoli floret thawed, frozen
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons basil fresh
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Pasta:
- 1 lb Fettuccine pasta cooked according to package directions
Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 cup kale chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Sprinkling:
- 1/3 cup pine nuts toasted
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese Or Vegan Cheese, grated
Notes
- Cook your pasta according to package directions, but check it a minute or two earlier, to make sure it's still al dente.
- Make sure not to brown the garlic too much, as this leads to bitterness.
- When assembling the dish, add the hot pasta water very slowly, stirring in between, to avoid a runny sauce.
