and I highly recommend it.I do a number of subs for things I don't have in the house/fridge (example, I don't have baby spinach, I would never buy pine nuts, and I don't really like red pepper all that much).
I do find, however, that many recipe-makers tend to have a very tasty outcome and that is what I go for!
INGREDIENTS:
- 8 - 12 oz of Penne pasta, uncooked (I am using brown rice penne- gluten-free)
- 1/4 C. water
- 5 Garlic cloves, minced
- 12 oz Baby Kale(or other greens on-hand, such as chard or spinach), chopped coarsely
- 1/4 tsp Chipotle Pepper powder (or 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes)
- 1/2 C. Vegetable Broth (such as Golden Bouillon)
- 1 15-oz can of Chickpeas or 1 1/2 C. cooked Chickpeas
- 1/2 C. Raisins
- 1/2 tsp. dried Basil (or 1 tsp. Fresh Basil, minced)
