Light Whole Wheat Pasta With Creamy White Cheese Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread almonds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until fragrant and golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until light golden, about 1 minute. Add kale and cook, tossing, until bright green, about 1 minute. Scrape mixture into a blender (reserve skillet). Add 1 cup water, beans, and lemon juice to blender; purée until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, 1 minute less than package instructions. Drain.
• Pour blended kale sauce back into skillet and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Add pasta and cook, tossing, until coated and sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes more. (If sauce thickens too much, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Season with salt and pepper.
• In a bowl, combine cheese, parsley, toasted almonds, and lemon zest. Sprinkle half of cheese mixture over pasta and serve remainder on the side. Drizzle pasta with more oil and serve.

Steps:

• Boil water then add noddles in, cooking until desired softness.
• In the meantime, pour all the sauce ingredients into a sauce pan, heating at medium heat.
• Mix until all ingredients are incorporated before allowing to simmer and thicken, stirring often until at desired thickness and cheese is melted and incorporated. Add more milk to simmer if you wish a thinner sauce. Add more cheese to taste if you prefer.
• Drain pasta and pour sauce over pasta. Enjoy!
