Method
- Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, peel the garlic. Tear the stems out of the cavolo and discard, adding the leaves and the garlic to the pasta pan for 5 minutes.
- Pour 1½ tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a blender, then finely grate in the Parmesan.
- Use tongs to carefully transfer the cavolo leaves and garlic straight into the blender and blitz for a few minutes until super-smooth. Taste and season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a mugful of cooking water.
- Return it to the pan and toss with the vibrant green sauce, loosening with a splash of reserved cooking water, if needed, then divide between your plates.
- Dot over the ricotta, drizzle with a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil, and tuck right in.
