Comforting Cacio e Pepe, Kale Orzo Soup with Ravinder Bhogal

pecorino cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Parmesan is more accessible and less expensive while still providing a cheesy flavor.

Chop 1 onion finely; you can use red or yellow onion.

Heat olive oil in a pan over low heat.

Sauté the chopped onion for about 6 minutes until it is pale and translucent, without coloring it.

Add minced garlic to the pan after the onion has cooked for about 3 minutes; cook until fragrant.

Add lemon zest to the pan for extra flavor.

Pour in 1.5 liters of vegetable stock and bring to a boil.

Add chickpeas and kale to the boiling stock; let it bubble for about 5 minutes.

Add pasta to the bubbling mixture; cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Stir in butter and grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Add plenty of black pepper to taste; mix well.
