This terrific dish contains a slew of cancer fighting ingredients, plus it’s super easy and delicious to boot. It marries sweet roasted mushrooms with a sharp lemony kale pesto made with super antioxidant walnuts. Orzo the little rice shaped pasta often used in soups is very quick cooking and I love it. Although you can find it wholegrain, it’s not that common, but don’t let that stop you making this. Buy regular. With the mushrooms and the fiber rich kale sauce, there’s enough nutrient packed ingredients to offset using refined grain pasta.
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Place mushrooms on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
- In a blender, combine walnuts, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, kale and basil. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fill a medium sized pot with water and bring to a boil. Add orzo and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and return to pot.
- Add pesto, roasted mushrooms and mozzarella to pasta. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
