Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the wholemeal pasta by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the wholemeal pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Step 2
Make the Romesco sauce by combining all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Step 3
Prepare the kale by adding it to a large bowl with a dash of salt and olive oil. Massage the kale with your hands until it softens.
Step 4
Prepare the red cabbage by finely shredding it with a vegetable peeler. Add lemon juice and a dash of salt, then massage until the cabbage turns bright pink.
Step 5
Add the pine nuts to a dry skillet over medium heat until they're golden brown. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.
Step 6
Assemble the salad into meal prep containers by layering the Romesco sauce at the bottom, then add the cooked pasta, chickpeas, massaged kale, and cabbage slaw. Finish with the toasted pinenuts on top.
Step 7
When ready to eat, shake the container well to mix and enjoy your Romesco Pasta Salad Meal Prep!
