Almond Alfredo Kale Pasta

May 23, 2016 By Kris Kelly

What could be better than a creamy plant-based dish thrown together in less than 30 minutes? My creamy, vegan Almond Alfredo Kale Pasta is an impressive go-to recipe for anyone with limited time. Although there are days I enjoy tinkering in the kitchen, most of the time our meals consist of a mad dash to get dinner on the table.  The most enjoyable meal consists of limited ingredients with minimal prep time and clean up.

Time Saving Tip: 

The trick to quick meals is prepping your veggies ahead.  I typically bring my produce home from the market and prep it before placing in the refrigerator.  (rinse, de-stem, chop, peel, etc.) Simply use those Costco glass nesting bowls with tight fitting lids to preserve your hard work. This step might seem daunting in the moment but definitely cuts time in the kitchen during the weekday rush.

Soaking nuts & seeds:

Remember to soak your nuts and seeds for the first part of the week on Sunday before heading off to bed.  I typically soak 3-4 bowls of nuts and seeds to kick-start my week.  Our creamy, vegan Almond Alfred Kale Pasta uses 1 cup of soaked almonds (skins removed) and 1 cup of homemade almond milk to create the creamy Vegan Alfredo Sauce used in the recipe.  As usual, I prepped this ahead of time.

  4. Add chopped kale and continue stirring until kale begins to wilt.
  5. Add Alfredo sauce and cooked pasta, continue cooking and stirring until Alfredo begins to bubble.

  7. Note: I enjoy topping my pasta with a nutty vegan parmesan cheese. So easy to make....simply add your favorite nuts, a little nutritional yeast, garlic salt and sea salt to a food processor. Pulse until you get a fine crumble. Sprinkle on top of pasta before serving.
