Kale Pesto

Who knew that pesto was seriously SO easy?!?

SO good!

To make this yummy dish, you'll need to start with the Alfredo sauce base.  Then simply add in half of this kale pesto recipe and serve with your favorite pasta.  It's ridiculously simple.  Trust me.

Kale Pesto

4 cups kale
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small handful sunflower seeds
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients in your food processor.

Add pesto to Alfredo sauce- YUM!

And your done.  No joke- that's it.  I would recommend you give your pesto a little taste test and adjust the ingredients as needed.  Perhaps you like it more "nutty" so put in more seeds, or maybe you want more of a kale flavor, etc.

Now, you can warm this pesto up and serve it as is with your pasta.  I'll warn you though- for the husband and kiddo, it's just TOO MUCH KALE.  Who knew you could have too much of a good thing?!?

You can also schmear it on some toasted sourdough, you can add a few spoonfuls of it to your favorite marinara sauce OR you can add half of it to homemade Alfredo sauce- that's what this recipe is for Mmkay....  It's seriously amaze-balls good and so versatile.  And probably the very best way to get your family to eat kale.  Because kale is weird and most assuredly, an acquired taste but this pesto makes it easy and yummy.  Promise.

Look at that yummy creamy Kale-ness!
