Background

On busy or lazy days I like making pasta dishes because they're wonderfully filling and nutritious - but most importantly because they can be served within 15 minutes. This pasta with mushroom and kale is an easy, zesty vegan dish - I used gluten-free, rice pasta but you can make it with any type of pasta you like. Serve it with a crispy salad.

Ingredients

200g pasta of your choice
100g mushroom
2 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 large handfuls of sliced curly kale
½ tsp chilli flakes
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, slice the garlic and slice the mushrooms.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the garlic and chilli gently for a minute.
Add the mushrooms and the lemon juice. Put a lid on and sauté for 5 minutes.
Wash and drain the kale then add to the pan together with a ladleful of the pasta’s cooking water.
Cover and cook for a couple of minutes until the kale has softened.
Drain the pasta and toss with the sautéed mushroom & kale. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Serve warm with Parmesan shavings (or vegan cheese).
