The irresistible flavour of kale pesto is the perfect match for the firm, easily digested Senatore Cappelli pasta. Get ready for an absolutely delicious taste.
Senatore Cappelli pasta deserves a leading role on all our tables: tasty, nutritious, highly digestible, firm,, versatile. This month, I’m proposing a first course of kale pesto Senatore Cappelli pasta. Kale is a superfood rich in flavour and nutritional properties. It is a powerhouse of antioxidants, C vitamin, K vitamin, carotenoids, quercitin, manganese, copper, B-group vitamins, calcium and potassium.
Let’s get to work.
