Quick Fix: Pasta with Kale and Red Pepper Pesto

Posted by Lesli

It's a good idea to keep a few meal ideas on hand that are quick to prepare on those days that you just don't have the time to prepare your meal from scratch.

By making sure you always have a supply of pasta in your cupboards and a selection of sauces, you will never be without a meal idea.

For this quick fix I use prepared Red Pepper Pesto. It comes in a small jar. It has a bold flavour so a little goes a long way. Instead of mixing it in with the pasta in the pot, I just use about a tablespoon per serving. I put a dollop of the pesto on top of each serving of pasta.

As far as the kale goes, check out how to cut it up, and then add it into the boiling water with the pasta during the last few minutes that the pasta has to cook. It's so convenient to cook your veggies and pasta together! One less step for you means more time to put your feet up!

Happy Cooking,
