Bright,green, easy and healthy! This pasta is a cinch to put together for a lunch or quick dinner. And, on it’s own, it yields 7 grams of plant based protein per serving.
It’s also dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan.
Kale is one of my favorite greens to grow in the garden and to have on hand in the fridge. It is packed with nutrition and is easy to incorporate into many different dishes, from smoothies to chips to grain bowls.
Lemon adds delightful brightness. Garlic lends savory depth. A generous swirl of olive oil brings everything together.
Top with my vegan parmesan to make this absolutely incredible!
