Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 400g penne
  • 200g bag shredded kale
  • 100g streaky bacon , chopped
  • 1 medium red onion , finely sliced
  • 100g soft mild goat's cheese
  • grated parmesan , to serve (optional)

Instruction

  • Boil the pasta in salted water. Add the kale for the final 2 mins, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, dry-fry the bacon in a nonstick pan until crisp. Remove from the pan and drain off most of the fat, leaving behind about 1 tsp. Gently fry the onion in the fat for 2-3 mins until soft.
  • Tip the cooked pasta and kale into the pan, then stir through the bacon and goat’s cheese. Add a little of the pasta cooking water if the mixture seems a bit dry. Serve in bowls scattered with grated Parmesan, if you like.
