Welcome back to SAUCY PASTAS, the series where I show you how to make the best pasta in town.
For EPISODE 4, we’re making my CREAMY GREEN RIGATONI - a six ingredient, superfood sauce, ready in just 15 minutes.
I’ve written the full recipe out for you below, so enjoy, and let me know if you give it a go!
* the sauce requires 6 ingredients excluding salt, pepper, olive oil *
INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
250g kale (or spinach)
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon
100g toasted mixed nuts (optional)
1 block silken tofu
2 tbsp nutrtional yeast
Rigatoni (80g per person) + pasta water
Chilli flakes
Salt
Pepper
METHOD
1. Separate the kale leaves from the stalks (they make a great snack when sautéed until crispy)
2. Blanch the kale in boiling water until brighter in colour (1-2 minutes). Squeeze out the water.
3. Place in a food processor/blender, then grate in the garlic, add the olive oil + blend to combine.
4. Scrape down the sides, then add the lemon juice, nuts if using, silken tofu + nutrtional yeast. Blend, seasoning to taste with salt + pepper.
5. Get your pasta onto boil in salted water. Once al dente, strain, reserving the starchy water,
6. Add a ladle of pasta water to the sauce to loosen, then pour the sauce into the pasta, stirring to combine. Add more pasta water as required.
7. Spoon into bowls, top with chilli flakes, a drizzle of olive oil, and anything else you fancy - enjoy!
