I love incorporating kale into dishes when it’s in season… and what better way to incorporate it than with pasta? This kale pasta sauce is fresh, creamy and oh so pretty! It doesn’t even taste like you’re eating kale when you take a bite of pasta coated in the sauce. This sauce is also incredibly easy to make. This recipe only uses 6 ingredients, 2 of them being salt & pepper!

Benefits of Kale

Kale provides antioxidants, fiber and vitamin C & K. It’s also been shown to lower cholesterol levels and contain anti-cancer compounds. The benefits are endless! Eating kale even just once a week can do wonders for your health!

For Littles

This recipe is perfect for babies and toddlers! Any kale you can get your baby to eat is beneficial for their health, and an easy way to serve it is as a pasta sauce! You can serve it to your baby 7 months+!

If you are unsure of serving it to your baby or you are just starting solids, you can start out with a small serving and go from there. You can also cut the pasta up into small pieces. I served this to my baby starting at 7 months. This is how I served it to my 1-year-old:
