Cook your pasta.

Add greens, nuts, garlic, olive oil, and a little salt and pepper to a blender. If using, add parm and/or nutritional yeast. Blend until creamy and serve over your pasta.

You can also make it in a food processor, by pulsing the greens, nuts, and garlic. When the mixture begins to blend, add the olive oil and parm/nutritional yeast.
