Serves 2
Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

150g pasta
80g kale, stalks removed
100g broccoli florets
60g peas
100g cannellini beans, drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
75g cottage cheese
15g Parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
Juice of three quarters of a lemon
50ml chicken stock
Small handful fresh basil
Small handful fresh parsley
1 tsp olive oil
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Chilli flakes, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Cook the pasta (150g) in a large pan of salted boiling water until al dente, reserving a generous splash of the pasta water before draining

2. Meanwhile, bring another pan of salted water to the boil. Add the broccoli florets (100g) and kale (80g, stalks removed) and cook for 3–4 minutes. Add the peas (60g) for the final 1 minute, then drain well

3. Add the cooked broccoli, kale, peas, garlic, cannellini beans (100g, drained), cottage cheese (75g), garlic (2 cloves), Parmesan (15g, finely grated), fresh basil (small handful), fresh parsley (small handful), lemon juice (juice of three quarters of a lemon), chicken stock (50ml), and a generous splash of the reserved pasta water to a blender. Blend until smooth and vibrant green, adding a little more pasta water if needed until silky. Season with salt and black pepper to taste

4. Return the pasta to the pan and toss through the green sauce until well coated, loosening with a little extra reserved pasta water if needed

5. Serve topped with extra Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of chilli flakes, if using
