Kale + Brussels Miso Mustard Noodle Bowls

When I’m not in the mood to cook, pasta is always my go-to, but sometimes I want to branch out from the traditional tomato sauce pasta (even though I probably could eat it every day, I mean- I am Italian!). Often times I open my fridge, see what produce I impulsively bought at the grocery store because let’s face it, I can’t help myself when I see fresh produce, and dream up a recipe that feeds my need to have a quick + healthy meal while also using up that produce before it goes bad. So last night I had some brussels sprouts and kale in my fridge on the brink of spoilage and I decided to throw this meal together.

I’ll admit that sometimes my little concoctions don’t pan out the way I envisioned them, but this Kale + Brussels Miso Mustard Noodle Bowls delivered! Now I know you might be thinking, mustard?! What the… I happen to love mustard. So anything with mustard is a win for me, but even my non-mustard loving hubby enjoyed these bowls (much to my surprise)!

The sauce only requires three ingredients, and the whole Kale + Brussels Miso Mustard Noodle Bowl recipe only requires six (not including water, salt, pepper, and olive oil). Talk about a simple recipe! As always, this recipe is gluten-free and vegan and loaded with flavor. I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you try it, please comment below and tag me on Instagram! I love seeing your re-creations! Until next time…
