Pumpkin Seed Alfredo with Kale and Peas

By Ellen Troyer and the Biosyntrx staff

Our delightful Biosyntrx staff loves pasta and we are always searching for interesting nutrient-dense recipes for our weekly staff meeting luncheon that we can prepare quickly with staple ingredients most always kept in the pantry.

If you have a blender you can make our quick and easy version of a vegan recipe from Renee Press, the founder of Fire and Earth Kitchen.  Rene says she is on a mission to make vegan, gluten-free cooking easy, accessible and delicious for everyone. 

This dish is delicious, cooler-day comforting and packed with nutrition. The raw, hulled pumpkin seeds provide elegant richness, and they are loaded with healthy fats, protein, vitamin E, iron, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, and zinc. The nutritional yeast is a B vitamin superfood, the kale is lutein rich.  

The entire process can be completed in less than 15 minutes and family and friends will cheer your efforts. View recipe
