Method

  • step 1

    Boil a large pan of water and cook the pasta following pack instructions.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the lardons for a few mins until golden and a little crisp. Stir in the garlic, red chilli and pine nuts, then cook for 1 min more until the garlic and chilli are softened and the pine nuts just toasted.

  • step 3

    Turn up the heat and add the kale to the pan with a splash of water, cover and cook for 3-4 mins until wilted. Drain the cooked pasta and add to the pan with the cream cheese and lemon juice. Toss together, taste, and season with black pepper.

Great dish. I used single cream instead of cream cheese (didn’t have any) and also added asparagus. Served with Parmesan. Delicious

Delicious and super easy to make. Omitted the cream cheese as didn’t have any to hand. Used only 100g of dried pasta, to improve the ratio of kale/bacon/pine nuts to pasta, but that meant it only served 3.

I loved this, I used Seriously Spreadable Vintage as the cheese and it was delicious! Trust the amount of kale you need - it looks like far too much raw but once it's been cooked for a couple of minutes it will wilt to just the right amount. I also used streaky bacon instead of lardons. Really…

Second time i've made this. The second time i remembered adding some water to the mixture because it will dry up without it and you risk burning.

I use streaky bacon as you get more for your money and it's pretty much the same thing as lardons but not as thick.

It's very tasty and very simple.

Chop the kale into fairly small pieces in your processor, if you have one, and keep half a mug of pasta water back to loosen the sauce when you mix in the cream cheese.
