Ingredients
- 227 g fusili pasta
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 yellow onion minced, large
- 5 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- 1 tbsp. umami spice optional, I use Simply Organic
- 1 tbsp. basil spice form
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red chili pepper
- 1 kale washed, de-stemmed and chopped
- 18 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 Violife vegan feta cheese 1 cup regular feta, brick
- 1/2 cup pesto could also be storebought
- basil fresh, large handfuls
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiled, generously salt. Cook pasta as per package instructions. Strain and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- To a large pan, heat olive on medium and cook down onions and garlic till translucent. This may take up to 5-6 minutes. Stir often to avoid burning. To the pan, add the spices and coat everything evenly.
- To the pan, add the kale and cook till decreased by half in size. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Place the lid on the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
- To the pot of strained pasta, add all the kale + tomato sauce and combine. Transfer to a large casserole dish (13″L x 7.75″W x 2.25″) and set aside.
- Into a small bowl, add the feta of choice and pesto and stir till combined.
- Top the pasta in the casserole dish with the feta/pesto mixture and evenly distribute the pasta water. Bake at 350F for 25-30 mintues.
- Enjoy with fresh basil!
Notes
- Pasta: Any type of pasta will work here honestly! Have fun with it!
- Feta: If you're not vegan, then use regular feta!
- Pesto: If you don't want to make homemade pesto storebought is just fine
