Pasta with kale sauce alla pesto

Super delicious vegetarian pasta! Quick and easy preparation.

Preparation steps

I made it with Cavolo Nero - curly dark kale, but you can feel free with plain kale. Cut the leaves into small pieces and send. Put to boil in salted water for about 7 minutes. Leave some liquid aside (about half a cup)
Fry onion and garlic in a little oil, 2 minutes is enough.
Separate 1/3 of the kale and set aside. This is later added to the sauce. Put the rest of the kale (2/3) in a mixer, add: -olive oil (2-3 tablespoons) -semi-fat cheese of your choice -hard cheese with a stronger taste for example Pecorino or Parmesan, Paski or similar (1 tablespoon) -fried onion and garlic -1/3 cup of liquid where the kale was cooked Mix everything together finely.
Pour the kale mixture into the pan and heat, add the basil and parsley, cream cheese, salt and pepper, finally add the lemon juice. Stir in the rest of the kale, which you can chop a little more if you want smaller pieces. Heat for another 1-2 minutes and remove from the stove.
Cook to fall to your liking, drain and return back to the pot. Add the kale sauce and mix everything together and sprinkle with olive oil (1-2 tablespoons)
Before serving, sprinkle with grated salted hard cheese and pepper.

Steaks in pomegranate sauce

Berber women once used pomegranates to predict how many children they would have: they would draw a circle on the ground, throw a ripe pomegranate into it, and the number of grains outside the circle would show the number of offspring. If you have any extra grain left, try to look into the future!
