Pesto rigatoni

Blend basil, kale, toasted pine nuts, garlic, parmesan & a generous pour of extra virgin olive oil in a food processor

Optional pesto add ins: add a little tang with some lemon juice or spice it up with some pickled jalapenos

Cook pasta in heavily salted water until al dente (I used Rummo gluten free rigatoni)

Reserve a little pasta water & mix into the sauce with a tbsp butter (optional) until it's a creamy consistency

Serve with a generous sprinkling of parmesan & some extra toasted pine nuts
