Quantity:

1 kale
3 tbsp shelled pistachios

1 kale
3 tbsp shelled pistachios
4 tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic
100 g grated Parmesan cheese + extra for serving
fleur de sel
freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 0.5 lemon and zest
250 g whole wheat pasta

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Remove the hard stem from each leaf of the kale, chop the kale roughly, and add it to the boiling water.

Let it boil for 3 minutes, drain, and refresh with cold water. Squeeze out a bit of the water.

Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend well.

Add water until it reaches the desired thickness and season with extra pepper and salt.

Cook the pasta al dente, drain, and mix in.

Finish with extra grated Parmesan cheese, pistachios, and lemon juice.

Tips

Also on a pizza instead of tomato sauce, or as a dressing on a salad. If you want a flexitarian dish, fry a piece of salmon or chicken.
