Ingredients
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 2 red onions, thinly sliced
- 300g kale
- 300g pasta of your choice (wholemeal is even healthier)
- 4 tbsp reduced-fat soft cheese
- 4 tbsp fresh or jar pesto, or vegetarian alternative
Method
Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions for 10 mins until softened and beginning to caramelise. Add the kale and 100ml water, then cover and cook for 5 mins more, or until the kale has wilted.
Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with the onion mixture, soft cheese and pesto, adding a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Season.
