Ingredients
Pasta:
- 4 ounces pasta
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 cups shredded kale
- 1 clove garlic minced
Sauce:
- 1/3 cup soaked sunflower seed
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Pinch of salt
- chili flakes as needed
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to direction, drain, reserving the liquid, and set aside.
- Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for a minute, just until fragrant. Add the kale to the pan and continue to cook for for a minute or two, just to start the kale wilting. Once the kale has wilted slighting, remove from the heat and add the pasta.
- Combine the soaked sunflower seeds with the water, lemon juice, lemon zest, smoked paprika, and salt in a high-speed blender. Puree until smooth. Add to the pan and toss. Add a splash or two of reserved pasta water as needed to thin and coat the noodles. Serve with a sprinkle of chili flakes as needed.
Notes
- Tips + Tricks: I typically soak the sunflower seeds for two hours before making. Make the sunflower cream ahead of time for a quick dinner.
