I didn’t want to go to the store yesterday so I whipped up this pasta with all stuff we had in the fridge/freezer/pantry. I like this frozen Kale/Spinach mix from Costco, it’s great for smoothies and cooking! Soft goat cheese is a great base for sauces. It’s melts down so easily and pairs well with just about anything.
{serves 3-4}
- 1 box Banza penne (or pasta of your choice)
- 3 oz goat cheese
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/4 white onion
- 5 cups frozen greens
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 10 green beans
- 1/4 cup pistachios
- olive oil
- parmesan and red pepper flakes for garnish
- mince garlic and chop onion, heat oven to 350ยบ F
- heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok and add garlic, onion and mustard seeds
- when the onion has turned opaque add the greens, you can use any frozen greens you’d like, squeeze in lemon juice
- meanwhile bring salted water to a boil for pasta (according to box instructions)
- when greens are heated add goat cheese and stir until it’s well incorporated
- cook pasta, toast pistachios for 5-7 minutes or until smelling toasty
- once the goat cheese is melted and stirred in, turn off heat and cover the sauce
- chop green beans removing ends, chop pistachios roughly and set aside
- serve green sauce over pasta, top with green beans, pistachios, red pepper flakes and parmesan
