I would not recommend skipping any steps here but if you have to use a store-bought bowl, I guess itās fine ššš¤
As someone in desperate need of fiber, Iāve been trying to incorporate greens in my meals wherever I can, by any means necessary, and this green goddess pasta is by far my favorite. It genuinely is the most delicious pasta, itās SO flavorful and vibrant, the fresh herbs and garlic bloom like crazy once it hits the hot pasta and you realize itās basically a super green pesto without the nuts (so technically closer to pistou).
Measuring isnāt super necessary, as everything can be adjusted to personal taste but hereās what I used:
Two big handfuls of Kale
Three big handfuls of Spinach
(Itās very okay if your handful is bigger than my handful, blanched spinach and kale literally have 0 taste, at least compared to all of the other flavors weāre throwing in here)
A big bunch of basil
Chives
2 garlic cloves (raw garlic is INTENSE, I wouldnāt go too crazy here)
4 tbsp of Parmesan
Lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Better than Bouillon
Mascarpone
Pasta
Because spinach and kale are essentially flavorless, I would recommend adding bouillon or better than bouillon to your blanching liquid / pasta water to compensate and prevent your sauce from tasting watery (although Iāve never had that problem when thereās so much basil, chives, and fresh garlic involved)
