Method

  • step 1

    Boil the pasta in salted water. Add the kale for the final 2 mins, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid.

  • step 2

    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.

  • step 3

    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.

I loved this pasta, made it both with Kale and I swapped kale out for Spinach- personal preference but I preferred the version with Spinach

I love pasta dishes but I found this a bit disappointing. The goat's cheese made it all a bit 'one note'. Would be improved with garlic or chilli. Won't make it again, though.

Really enjoyed this dish. I'm a pasta lover but fancied something different. Preferred to eat it the next day when cold. I served with some tomato brushetta on the side which went down a treat too. Much lighter than some pasta dishes which was a nice change. Will be making again

I added pesto which somewhat dampened the flavour of the goats cheese but still, lovely flavours. Tasted better cold the next day

Great but the recipe calls for twice as much pasta as is required - I added cherry tomatoes and pesto, and swapped bacon for gammon steak ... plus this was even nicer cold for lunch the following day.
