So this should fuel you and your family! Vegetarian, gluten free if you want… Healthy and delicious with enough healthy calories to power up your family of runners, swimmers or Pokemon goers.

A friend and mom of one of my son’s teammates sent me a recipe for kale pesto.. Oh! The possibilities! But this… This is easy.. Maybe a little messy.. I try to cook with as few dishes as possible and this requires more than the average, but it’s worth it.

What you need:

Lasagna- regular or gluten free- I get the ready to bake regular and some gluten free penne pasta or elbows for me. I just haven’t had great luck with the gluten free lasagna

Kale- 2 bunches

Garlic – 3 cloves or to taste

Salt, pepper, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, rosemary

2 c walnuts

Olive oil

Parmesan cheese

Mozzarella cheese

Ricotta cheese

1 egg

Let’s go!

Take your kale and cut the stems off at the end and discard. Dunk into boiling water with 1 tsp salt and the garlic for 2-3 mins

Put into colander but reserve water

Process nuts, salt, red pepper, Parmesan, rosemary & nutmeg and then add kale, 2 T olive oil and reserved water to desired thickness. Purée until beautiful
