Creamy Pesto & Kale Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 red onions, thinly sliced
  • 300g kale
  • 300g wholemeal past
  • 4 tbsp reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 4 tbsp fresh pesto or vegetarian alternative
  • 1tbs of olive oil

Method 

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions for 10 mins until softened and beginning to caramelise. Add the kale and 100ml water, then cover and cook for 5 mins more, or until the kale has wilted.
  2. Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with the onion mixture, cream cheese and pesto, adding a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Season.
