This is my go-to weeknight comfort food that’s actually so good for you!
Rapini Garlic Chili Pasta
Ingredients
* 450 g pasta
* 1–2 bunches rapini, chopped
* 4–6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
* 2–4 whole dried chiles
* 3–4 tbsp olive oil
* ½–¾ cup nutritional yeast
* Salt
* Reserved pasta water
* Carmela’s Teff Crackers (CTC), crushed
Method
1. Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 2 cups pasta water.
2. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, chiles, and salt. Cook until fragrant and lightly golden.
3. Add rapini, toss, cover, and cook until just tender (4–6 minutes).
4. Add pasta and toss everything together.
5. Add nutritional yeast and splashes of pasta water, stirring until creamy and glossy.
6. Plate and finish with a generous sprinkle of crushed CTC.
Finish with Carmela’s Teff Crackers (CTC) for that crunchy, protein-packed topping! Link in bio 😊
