Method

step 1

Boil the kettle. Tip the creamy beans into a deep, wide frying pan with a splash of water, and set over high heat to warm through. Once the beans are hot and have loosened slightly, tip in the pasta and pour over 750ml boiling water from the kettle. Season well with salt.
step 2

Boil over a high heat, stirring often for 6-8 mins, or until the pasta is nearly cooked through, topping up with more water if needed. Stir in the kale and cook for 2-3 mins more until the greens have wilted and the pasta is tender but retaining some bite. When ready, the water will have mostly evaporated and the pasta will be creamy. Season to taste, then drizzle over the salsa verde before serving.
