Adding fresh kale to pesto is a wonderful way to pack in more anti-inflammatory phytonutrients! My children love this recipe! If you tolerate dairy, try adding a few tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese to each bowl.

12 ounces brown rice penne pasta cooked and drained
4 medium carrots chopped
1 cans chickpeas rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoons sea salt
¼ teaspoons black pepper

Kale Pesto

⅓ cups pine nuts
3 cloves garlic
½ bunches kale stems removed and chopped
2 cups fresh basil (packed)
1 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoons sea salt
½ cups extra virgin olive oil
