I added a bit more garlic, and seasoned well. I was surprised from a few simple ingredients how tasty it was, we used kale, but next time will use cavelo nero.

I’ve made this numerous times and it always goes down a storm- even amongst non veggies. Easy, quick and tasty . I use loads more garlic and blue cheese and tons of black pepper to give to more flavour

Very good recipe: quick easy and tasty. Will be making this regularly for mid-week dinners - Kale will never go to waste :)

I would sugest bit of grinded black pepper when you serve. By adding some black pepper the taste of whole dish will make huge difference. I used short Regatoni pasta !

This is ridiculously easy, but also pretty tasty.

I also use more garlic than it says, but that's about the only alteration. It's also really easy to scale up - I've cooked this for 16 people using two camping stoves, and it went down a storm.
