Cheesy Pasta Supreme with love from DR Oz :wink:

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp diced shallots
1 (8-oz) box quinoa pasta
15 cups chopped kale
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp tahini
1 cup nutritional yeast

Directions

Sauté garlic and a little shallot together with the freshly rised kale. (If you’re using frozen kale, sauté in low or no-sodium veggie broth).
As the greens and quinoa or quinoa pasta are cooking, throw them into the pan with the garlic and shallot.
Rehydrate sun-dried tomatoes in hot water.
Just before serving, throw 1 cup of nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons of tahini and a small amount of red pepper flakes into the pan with the sun-dried tomatoes.
In place of salt, try a squeeze of lemon or a dash or pepper.

Yes this will be so amazing you'll be begging for more or begging to be put out of your misery :laugh: Sorry couldn't find the vomit emoticon right now. I may have lots of healthy things in it but ewwwww! No way that is tasty.

    FIFTEEN cups of chopped kale!? Holy Bitter Bites Batman! That's some serious green-load!

    I actually think that looks pretty good, although fifteen cups of kale seems completely insane. Maybe that was a typo on his site. I'd go with, like, one cup. Or two maybe. But the rest sounds good to me! I just eat that kind of food I guess. I love kale, quinoa, tahini and nutritional yeast. But I'm a vegetarian, so I eat that kind of stuff a lot. :)

    I did cut and paste it so it's correct. 15! Even if it was 1 cup I still think this recipe is not going to be what it is called in the title.. Not supremely cheesey just gag worthy.

    I eat all those things too. I am not vegetarian but I was a chef long ago and love to eat all sorts of things. I have kale in the garden, tahini in my fridge, quinoa in two forms (uncooked and ready to microwave tubs) and I keep my nutritional yeast in the fridge or freezer because I don't use it often. I just don't think this sounds delicious. Healthy yes, yummy not!

    Ew- yeah, I can't believe he really wants fifteen cups! That's just a vat of kale with a few noodles in it.

    Probably health food shops. I had one that was good. Think it was a quinoa blend with rice or something.

    If there were less kale, I don't think it sounds too bad. 15 cups just seems...a little insane.

    Is kale like spinach maybe? cause you know cups of spinach end up looking like a Tbsp lol

    In my experience kale tends to hold up when cooked. It doesn't really shrink down like spinach.
  • 15 cups makes sense. Kale is a superfood so the more the healthier! Teehee

    That was beautiful. Also kale, it's not one of my good things.

    Kale reduces when cooked. What is 15 cups chopped, maybe be a couple cups withered.
