Step 1

Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the package instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, peel the garlic. Tear the stems out of the cavolo (kale) and discard, adding the leaves and the garlic to the pasta pan for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a blender, then finely grate in the Parmesan.

Step 4

Use tongs to carefully transfer the cavolo leaves and garlic straight into the blender and blitz for a few minutes until super-smooth.

Step 5

Taste and season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Drain the pasta, reserving a cupful of cooking water. Return the pasta to the pan and toss with the vibrant green sauce, loosening with a splash of reserved cooking water, if needed, then divide between your plates. Dot over the ricotta, drizzle with a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil, and tuck right in.
