Instructions
Add the kale, salt, garlic, lemon juice, pistachios, grated parmesan, olive oil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth.
Serve with pasta, on sandwiches, on pizza.
Notes
If pistachios are salted, reduce salt to 1/4 teaspoon.Replace pistachios with walnuts, cashews, or almonds — use pepitas for a nut-free option.If you don’t have red pepper flakes you can add jalapeño to the pesto for heat. Remove the jalapeño seeds for mild/medium, and keep the seeds for medium/hot.
