Alkaline Diet Recipe: Kale Pesto Pasta

Alkaline food should be delicious in addition to being so nutritious. So last time, I shared 5 ways to make alkaline food delectable, even if you are just beginning the alkaline lifestyle.

Pesto is one of those sauces that feels gourmet even though it’s ready in minutes. This meal is perfect for weeknight dinners because the whole thing is ready in less than 15 minutes. That’s faster than delivery!This delicious pesto recipe is going to be one of your new favorites because it’s so good. If you haven’t tried kale pesto, it’s a tasty variation on the classic. You could use spinach or other dark, leafy greens instead though. It’s very versatile.
