1 bunch green kale, stems and tough ribs stripped out and discarded, leaves sliced
1 small onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Over medium heat, cook the kale, onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup water in a covered saucepan until the ingredients are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally. If the liquid dries out, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time.
Place the remaining ingredients and the cooked ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
