5 Ingredient Creamy Kale Pasta Bowls

kale

olive oil

garlic,

salt

cashews (soaked – see directions)

Almond Breeze Almondmilk Unsweetened Original

garlic

lemon juice

Place cashews in a bowl. Cover with water and soak for about 2 hours. Drain and rinse thoroughly.

Heat the oil over medium low heat. Add the garlic and kale and saute for 5-10 minutes until very soft. Keep the heat low to avoid burning the garlic. Season with salt.

Pulse all the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until very smooth.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 2 cups of the water from the pot when you drain the pasta.

Toss the hot pasta with the sauce, kale, and just enough of the reserved pasta water to carry the sauce throughout all the noodles. Top with Parm, salt, and pepper. Voila!

I was initially skeptical when my hubby pulled up this recipe but it was amazing! I couldn't get over how creamy and easy the sauce was. We went heavier on the garlic (because, garlic). Would definitely recommend the lemon. Would go great with sauteed mushrooms too!

Looks great! It combines two of my favorite things: Kale and pasta! I'll be trying this out real soon

I must try this recipe as soon as possible! It looks delicious. :)
I just found the blog and I'm already a fan.

I love that you're posting more vegan-friendly recipes!! Much appreciated by your vegan followers :D

First I must say Thank you! Your recipes never fail me. Kale???? never had it as a kid, but my father was a meat potatoes vegetables kind of guy. Myself never liked red meat refused to eat it, still it's not my favorite.  I'll eat chicken and fish otherwise I'm a salad/vegetable kind of person.
I discovered a messaged  kale recipe i could live on. Then my love love of the stuff grew, soup, pasta etc...
Tonight this creamy kale yum cant wait!

I made this tonight and it was so good! Glad I found your site!

This Creamy Kale Pasta is fresh, easy, and DELICIOUS. Chewy bowtie pasta, coated in a light, salty, barely-creamy sauce, flecked with red pepper flakes and little bits of tender sautéed garlic kale.

white wine,

lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan to finish (omit Parmesan if vegan)

Creamy Kale Pasta Step 4

This is very tasty and was a hit with the household! I substituted sunflower seeds for the pine nuts and it came out great.

This is definitely going on my dinner menu this week!  We need more kale in our diet!

I made this for lunch today and it was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend adding the red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese.

Made this tonight-OMG so good and easy to make. The flavors are wonderful. I didn’t have white wine, and didn’t want to buy any, so I used pasta water. I also used orecchiette pasta cause I already had some on hand.  Perfect easy recipe!

This was GREAT!  I subbed walnuts for pine nuts. I used dried herbs.   Easy for a lazy person like me to throw together!

Made this tonight, oh wow, was it ever delicious!  Started your Plant Power January and I"m loving the recipes.  Thank you!

I really, really appreciate you offering alternatives in your recipes. Too many recipes are ridged, but with yours I feel comfortable with experimenting and thus I feel some sort of ownership of, "I made this".  I'll try this recipe now but with spinach. Ta.

Made this tonight and it was a hit!! Will be adding to our rotation. Thanks for the recipe!

OMG!! This is so yummy!!I just made this for lunch and wasn’t sure it would be a big hit but my husband and I both loved it! It was so good with just some Parmesan and red pepper flakes to top it off. It would be good with shrimp, too. Thanks for another easy, tasty recipe!

Love this!   I couldn’t find basil in the store so I used cilantro instead.   I also used walnuts instead of pinenuts and it was all so delicious.    Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

This is a delicious recipe!  I am following and enjoying the recipes for vegetarian January and love the format with shopping list, photos and recipe presentation.  The one thing I wish was included was basic nutritional info.  I have to come back to the website to obtain it.

My 22-mo picky eater ate not only the pasta but ALSO THE KALE and said "yum" several times. I can't emphasize enough what a big deal this was. This is officially going into our dinner rotation &lt;3

Made this recipe twice in an row as it was so delicious. Kale is not very popular here in the south of Germany but it should be. Thank you for showing me that kale can taste so yummie.
