KALE PESTO ALFREDO

Kale Pesto Alfredo image

I have so much kale in my garden, and I can only do so much with it. This recipe just combines kale pesto with a homemade Alfredo, which was an experiment that turned out wonderfully. Put it on bread or pasta, or freeze it in cubes and use it to complement chicken, steak, or veggies.
