Step 2

Add the Cavolo Nero to the pot and boil for a further 3 to 4 minutes, or until the leaves are tender

Add the butter and allow it to melt into the sauce. Mix in the parmesan, plenty of black pepper, and the Tabasco. Add salt to taste

Step 5

Serve immediately while still warm, or warm gently in a small pan. Serve with cooked pasta or gnocchi adjusting the consistency with the pasta water if necessary
