Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    To make the kale pesto, place kale, basil, parmesan, cashews and garlic in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. With the motor running, gradually add the oil and lemon juice in a thin, steady stream until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Combine mince, fetta, breadcrumbs, parsley, tomato paste and parmesan in a bowl. Season. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls. Place on the lined tray. Spray with olive oil spray. Bake for 10 mins. Turn the meatballs. Add the tomatoes to the tray. Bake for 10 mins or until meatballs are cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, cook pasta in a saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup (80ml) of cooking liquid.

  5. Step 5

    Stir half the pesto through the pasta with the reserved cooking liquid. Serve with the meatballs, tomatoes, basil and remaining pesto.
