    LAY HO MA! Pesto is seriously one of my favourite things to make and have on hand. The various ingredients you can add into this Heavenly paste is unbelievable and once you have it on hand and ready to go, you can throw together a very tasty meal in minutes! Join me in this episode and learn how to make a quick kale pesto pasta recipe. Let's begin
    Ingredients:
    160g fresh basil
    160g kale
    3 pieces garlic
    1 1/2 tsp salt
    pepper to taste
    1/2 cup almonds
    1/4 tsp chili powder
    3/4 cups olive oil
    1/4lb pasta
    1 cup fresh peas
    2 lemon wedges
    Directions:
    1. Pick and remove the leaves from the basil and kale. Place into the blender along with the garlic, salt, pepper, almonds, chili powder, and olive oil. Blend on medium to medium low using the tamper if necessary
    2. Transfer the pesto to a container and store in the refrigerator (enjoy up to a couple of weeks) or freezer
    3. Bring a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta to package instructions. Save about 1/4 cup of pasta water
    4. When the pasta is cooked, strain out the water. Add the peas, 2-3 tbsp pesto, and the reserved pasta water
    5. Give the pasta a good stir to combine
    6. Plate the pasta, add some pepper to taste, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice

    Before you stop blending your greens, add one ice cube and blend it into your pesto. The cold will shock the greens and stop them from turning dark or brown. Keeping it in the freezer may be an alternative to keep it that brilliant green.

I hope he'll put up more recipes which use kale, and maybe some which use zucchini too so that we can use up some of this, and maybe put some of it in the freezer in pre-cooked things for consumption this fall and winter when we no longer have access to it from our garden.

I couldn't even taste the kale in the pesto once it was mixed in with the pasta. Adding the peas really made the whole dish even more filling. I'm not vegan so I topped mine off with some grated parmesan and it was perfect. Thanks for another hit recipe!
