Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta of choice gluten free if desired
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale spines removed
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 10 oz silken tofu
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ cup hemp seeds
- 1 cup frozen green peas thawed
- 1½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- ½ cup basil leaves
- 3 garlic cloves
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the kale and spinach and boil for just a couple of minute until vibrant green and slightly wilted. Remove with tongs and transfer to a blender.
- Add the pasta to the same water and cook according to package instructions, or until al dente. Drain and reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water. Return the noodles to the pot.
- While the noodles are cooking, add the tofu, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, peas, vinegar, coconut aminos, basil, garlic, and 1/2 tsp salt to the blender with the kale and spinach. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding pasta water 1/2 cup at a time to thin.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Add pasta water as desired to increase creaminess and silkiness. Serve hot!
