Quick Creamy Marinara Pasta with Garlicky Kale

Looking for something quick but delicious for a warming winter meal? Give this hearty, crowd-pleasing dish a try. If you have a high-speed blender, you will not need to soak the cashews but if you have a regular blender, it is best to soak a bit for maximum creaminess.
 
1 lb. pasta of choice
1 tablespoon olive oil
, divided
1 yellow onion, diced
3 - 4 cups curly kale
, chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
15½-ounces cooked cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
25-ounces vegan marinara
½ cup raw unsalted cashews
, soaked for 30 minutes and drained
½ - 1 cup vegetable broth
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste


Start a large pot of water for the pasta and cook according to directions.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ½ a tablespoon of the olive oil, swirl or brush to coat the bottom of the skillet and heat for a minute. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, for eight minutes. Add the kale, garlic, cannellini beans and the remaining ½ tablespoon of the olive oil. Lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted, about three minutes.

Drain the cashews and add to a blender along with the marinara and broth. Blend until smooth. Add additional broth if you like a thinner sauce. Add to the skillet along with the pasta and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine. Add the salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
