    Speedy kale & ricotta tagliatelle

    Ricotta cheese gives this easy pasta dish a light and creamy texture, while the pinenuts add a contrasting crunch.

    • Total time: 11 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    300g essential Waitrose Tagliatelle
    200g pack essential Waitrose Kale
    3 tbsp olive oil
    1 large red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    4 salad onions, thinly sliced
    ½ x 25g pack fresh basil, leaves roughly torn
    125g essential Waitrose Italian Ricotta
    1 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Toasted Pinenuts

    Method

    1. Cook the tagliatelle in a large pan of boiling salted water for 6 minutes, then add the kale and cook for a further 3 minutes.

    Cook’s tip

    Take care when cooking the garlic that it doesn’t brown as this can give a bitter flavour. This dish is also delicious eaten cold and makes a lovely packed lunch.
