Easy Vegan Pasta with Kale and Chickpeas image

These is one of my go-to recipes for a quick, healthy midweek meal though it is good enough for guests, too. We eat a lot of garlic in our family, but you can of course reduce the amount.

Time 22m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
ΒΌ cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch kale, chopped
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of cooking water.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir cooked spaghetti into the skillet. Add nutritional yeast. Add enough of the reserved cooking water to create a thick sauce. Stir well. Add chickpeas and heat until warmed, 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
