Title: "Cheesy" Fettuccine with Kale
Post by: Sister on December 07, 2008, 05:56:46 PM
"Cheesy" Fettuccine with Kale

Ingredients:

1 package fettuccine (cooked in salted water)
1 recipe Queso (recipe follows) from http://www.veganexplosion.com/queso
1 1/2 cup chopped kale (devein the kale before chopping)

Directions:

First, make your "cheese" sauce. (queso)
Cook your fettuccine. While you wait for your noodles, cook your chopped kale in a pan with a few tbsp of water or vegetable broth. I usually use a tbsp of olive oil and let it coat the kale then I add 1 tbsp of water or broth. When kale is soft, turn off heat

Add all of this goodness together and there you have it.

Note: Leave out the cumin, chili powder and rotel to make a wonderful cheesy sauce for the Fettuccine.

Queso

Note: Leave out the cumin, chili powder and rotel to make a wonderful cheesy sauce for the Fettuccine.

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup Nutritional Yeast Flakes
1/4 Cup Flour
1/4 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
Dash Garlic Powder
Dash Chili Powder
1 Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Vegan Margarine
1 10-ounce Can RoTel (or any other Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained)
2 teaspoons prepared Yellow Mustard (Not Mustard seed or dijon, just regular yellow mustard...kay?)

Directions:

Combine all dry ingredients (everything from nutritional yeast flakes to chili powder) in a pan
Add water to pan, turn on medium heat
Stir constantly and once thickened, remove from heat.
Add in margarine, rotel and mustard. Stir until margarine is melted.
Once margarine has melted, put the pan back on the heat and stir until a bit thicker.
Serve over chips, enchiladas or in a quesadilla with seitan and veggies.
Eat warm.

Also, as I mentioned before, you can leave out the cumin, chili powder and rotel to make a wonderful cheesy sauce for pasta, grilled cheese, potatoes, etc.! Mustard is optional.

We often have kale with cashew cheese sauce as a meal all by itself.  It's a great way to eat greens!

Another way we like to eat greens is with coconut milk.  Wash the greens and steam along with about 1/4 cup of onion.  When the onions and greens are tender, add one can of coconut milk cooking until hot.  Yummy...
