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!

    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.
