Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions (usually 10-12 minutes).

  2. Whilst the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a frying pan until very hot, then cook the bacon until browned and crispy (about 5 minutes). Turn a couple of times during cooking. Remove from pan and chop into small pieces.

  3. Keep the frying pan on the heat, but turn the heat down to low (there should still be some bacon fat in there). Place the kale in the bacon pan and let it cook in the hot oil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat.

Excellent for a busy weeknight meal and the kids love it!

Ben Wolfinger ★ 5.0/5

I used plain greek yogurt instead of cream with a splash of the pasta water and it turned out great.

Danielle Wolter ★ 5.0/5

So hard to cook with stitches or bandages on your hand! This is ultimate comfort food. I'm glad you wilt the kale with bacon - sounds so good. what a great winter meal :-)

Tom ★ 5.0/5

Tea sorted, this looks delicious and quick. Perfect for midweek dinner after work.
