WHAT’S IN IT?
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
500g pork mince
5 cloves garlic
1 tbs fennel seeds
1/2 tbs chili flakes (or to your liking)
Sea salt, to taste
350g casarecce pasta (or any short pasta, like fusili)
1 bunch, kale, washed, leaves removed from stem and torn into 5cm x 5cm pieces
To serve
Extra virgin olive oil
Chili flakes, to taste
Parmesan, grated
Sea salt, to taste
Step 1. Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to the boil. In a large non stick fry pan heat olive oil over high heat. Add pork mince and cook for 10-15mins until pork is super crispy and golden.
Step 2. Once water is boiling rapidly add your pasta and cook as per packet instructions or until al dente. Before straining your pasta, reserve one cup of pasta water (this is the starchy water that the pasta has been cooking in, be sure to use a mug or heat proof cup).
Step 3. To the pork add garlic, chili, fennel and season well with sea salt. Stir well to combine and reduce heat to low and cook until garlic is just softened and fragrant (1-2mins)
Step 4. Add kale to mince and stir through, add in strained pasta along with 2 tbs of pasta water and a good glug of olive oil. Mix well to combine.
Step 5. Serve to large bowls. Top with chili, parmesan and olive oil to your liking.
MORE PASTA!!!!
Nduja is a dangerously addictive, spreadable firecracker of Calabrian pork and chilies that melts into a smoky, spicy sauce all over anything it touches. In this case, it is the perfect addition to a classic vodka pasta (which is one of the simplist and most delicious pastas you can make!)
This is my classic carbonara recipe. I think it is as close to the real deal as you can get (and yes, that means NO CREAM!), that is what the egg, parmesan and pasta water is for!
I hope you enjoy this simple, classic carbonara recipe that can be whipped up in minutes!
The best and easiest meal you will make this week, this is my Sausage Kale Pasta recipe.
A family staple in our household and a simple pasta recipe we cook almost everyweek!
Fish, Pea & Herb Orzo - for those days when it is still hot outside but you feel like something, cosy, comforting and all cooked in one pan! Creamy orzo, zesty fish, it’s bright, balanced and absolute perfection.
Clam Pasta - Spaghetti Alle Vongole - Delicious; whatever you want to call it, this dish is a big time hit and one you can whip out and whip up quick quick 🐚
This is a handy way to use up (or just have fun with) lasagne sheets, giving you decadent and thick noodles that catch all the sauce and ingredients in this Pea & Prosciutto Lasagne Pasta (or any sauce you choose to use!)
Every Greek family has got a favourite but nobody can pick a winner, so instead, I have built both into one tray….this is the Pastitsio Moussaka, and it is delicious (hopefully the Greeks don’t hate me for this!)
I keep the velvety eggplant from the Moussaka, adding in the tubular pasta from the Pastitsio and tying it all together with a signature meat sauce!
