Yummy Pasta with Collard Greens

Collection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large cloves of garlic (crushed or minced)
  • 1 teaspoon each of oregano and bazil
  • 2 cups collard greens or kale (finely chopped)
  • 1 or 2 chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup of pine nuts
  • 2-3 cups of pasta of choice (penne is best)

Directions

Collard greens and kale are a most excellent source of
calcium. They can be used interchangably in this recipe but
I prefer the collard greens.

Chop collard greens finely. Place in a microwave safe dish
cover with lid and microwave approximately 4 minutes.

In a fry pan on low heat saute oil, garlic, and green onion
until fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). Add basil and
oregano and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add collard greens and
pine nuts.

Toss with cooked pasta. If it is too dry just add more
olive oil. Enjoy in vegan bliss!!!

Note: All measurements are approximate. Vary to your
liking.
