Ooo this is a go-to of mine and its never coming off the list! Love the creaminess, the color, and the flavorrrr. Sometimes i add an avocado to the pesto but thats if im feeling a little fancy (^.^)

Steps

1 hour

1

Remove the stems and ribs of the kale.
2

Cook the kale in a pot of boiling salted water. Take it out after 30 seconds or when it turns a vibrant green. Don't drain the water! After the kale has cooled a little, wring out any excess water.
3

Cook your pasta in the water until it is al dente. Reserve some pasta water as well.
4

In a blender, puree the garlic, oil, water, and nuts until very smooth. Add the kale and parmesan into the blender and blend until smooth. Add a tbsp of water at a time as needed.
5

Mix together the pasta, butter, and pesto. Add little amounts of pasta water until you reach your desired consistency. And... its done!

If you never have tried swiss- chard you should try to find some and make a pesto outta that. Swiss chard is delicious! I have always grown my own swisschard because it is not easy to find but it is great!
