Creamy pesto and kale pasta

Enjoy our creamy pesto and kale pasta as a tasty and nutritious supper. Make it with just a handful of ingredients and store cupboard staples.

Serves 4 | Prep 10 mins | Cook 25 mins

Ingredients:

1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 red onions thinly sliced
300g kale
300g wholemeal pasta 
4 tbsp reduced-fat soft cheese
4 tbsp fresh or jar pesto or vegetarian alternative

Method:

Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions for 10 mins until softened and begin to caramelise. Add the kale and 100ml water, then cover and cook for 5 mins more or until the kale has wilted.

Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with the onion mixture, soft cheese and pesto, adding a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
