Ingredients
- 200g long pasta (we used tagliatelle)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 small banana shallots, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 20g nduja
- 2 tbsp tomato purée
- 200g spring greens, finely shredded
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 25g breadcrumbs
- 10g parsley, finely chopped
- 15g parmesan, finely grated
Method
- STEP 1
Cook the pasta following pack instructions and reserve a mugful of pasta water. Drain thoroughly. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Tip in the shallots with a pinch of salt. Fry gently for 10-12 mins until softened but not coloured, then stir in the garlic, nduja and tomato purée. Cook for a further 2-3 mins until the tomato purée has caramelised slightly. Mix in the spring greens, a splash of water and the lemon juice and cook for 4-5 mins until the greens have wilted.
- STEP 2
In a separate pan, heat the remaining oil and tip in the breadcrumbs. Stir to coat, then toast, over a medium heat, for 3 mins until golden. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, parmesan and a pinch of seasoning.
- STEP 3
Stir the cooked pasta into the pan of greens with a good splash of water and toss to coat, adding more pasta water as needed. Season to taste, adding a splash more lemon juice if needed. Scatter over the breadcrumb topping to serve.
