ROASTY TOMS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the halved baby tomatoes and whole, unpeeled garlic clove on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Pop in the hot oven and roast until softened and starting to blister, 10-15 minutes.
BLANCHING AWAY
Bring a pot of water to a boil. When boiling, blanch the rinsed spinach and the shredded kale until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserving the water, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. When cooled, squeeze out as much water as you can.
BUBBLE, BUBBLE BOIL & NO TROUBLE
Return the pot of spinach and kale water to medium-high heat. When boiling, add a pinch of salt and cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving 100ml of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
A FOOD WHIZZ
When the tomatoes are finished roasting, remove the garlic clove from the tray. Carefully squeeze the garlic flesh into a blender. Add the blanched kale and spinach, the lemon zest, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, ½ the nutritional yeast, a drizzle of olive oil, seasoning, and the reserved pasta water. Pulse until smooth, adding more water if necessary. Add to the pot of cooked pasta. Toss through the peas, ½ the roasted tomatoes, ½ the torn basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
TOASTED PINE NUTS
Place the pine nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GLORIOUS GREEN PASTA!
Pile up a generous helping of the saucy green pasta. Top with the toasted pine nuts and the remaining roasted tomatoes, basil, nutritional yeast and a good grind of pepper. Serve with a lemon wedge. Beautiful work, Chef!
