Method
- Bring a medium pan of salted water to the boil.
- Remove the Leaves from the stem and give them a rinse. Peel the garlic.
- Add the Cavlo Nero and garlic to the boiling water for 2 minutes until tender and refresh in iced water (or just drain and leave to cool slightly).
- Squeeze the excess water from the leaves and add to a blender with the garlic, grated parmesan, cream cheese, cottage cheese, salt and pepper with 2 tablespoons on blanching liquid. Add more if it doesn’t blend. Blend until smooth.
- In the same water as the calve Nero, cook your pasta until al dente.
- Mix the pasta with the sauce in the bowl, not a pan, and mix well to incorporate. If you left it bit long and want to heat it up a bit just pop the bowl on top of the simmering water. If it’s a bit loose, just keep tossing. Have faith.
- Season with salt and lemon juice and plate up with parmesan, black pepper and olive oil.
