Yesterday there was a post using Thomas Straker's cavolo nero rigatoni recipe, and I just happened to have bought the ingredients that day (technically mezzi rigatoni, but close enough).
I needed extra protein so I added some This Superfood Super block (if you haven't tried this, even if you aren't vegetarian, it's amazingly nice), also added a few pine nuts to the sauce when blending, and the tomatoes are to add some colour contrast. It's really good!

Looks even better then the one yesterday 👌
Looks awesome!
Just waiting for thrasherxxx to come along and whinge that it’s not authentic Italian… 🙄
That guy thinks he’s all of Italy’s spokesperson.
Just in case anyone wants to skip the step of seeing what cavolo nero is; it is lacinato, dinosaur, tuscan, or black kale.
Absolutely stunning plate. I think I am gonna try this this week for sure. The grocery store had some beautiful greens.
And then obviously you put random stuff on it. I am sorry but you do not understand balance.
And it looks better than yesterday 🙂
Good call on the pine nuts.
