Ingredients

Servings
  • 150 kale roughly chopped/ sliced, 5.3 oz (grams not specified
  • 2 broccoli florets 200 grams / 7 oz
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped.
  • 250 grams penne pasta dry
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes dry
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or Himalayan salt
  • black pepper coarse, according to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil and more for a little drizzle before serving.

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta according to packet instructions. Add ½ teaspoon salt to its boiling water.
  2. In the meantime, fry the garlic in the pan until fragrant. Then add in chili flakes. Continue to fry for about 1 minute.
  3. Next, add in the kale and stir well. Put the lid on and steam-fry for about 5 minutes.
  4. Then add the broccoli and season the veggies with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper, or according to taste.
  5. Cook further for about 3 minutes or according to how soft you want the veggies to be.
  6. By this time, your pasta should be ready. Strain the pasta and add it to the veggies. Stir and mix everything. Turn the heat off. Drizzle with a little bit more olive oil and serve.

Notes

  • You can skip the chillies if you're not keen. Or you can put more if you prefer ?. I sometimes put more if I want a bit more heat-kick.
  • This pasta dish is tasty to enjoy as a hot dish during cold days. But, it’s delish to have it cold in hot summer days that it makes it ideal for a packed lunch or picnic. Buon Appetito!
