Ingredients

  • fettucine, 250 g (or any pasta)
  • olive oil, 2 tbsp
  • red onion, 1 small (wedges)
  • mushrooms, 200 g
  • garlic, 1 tbsp (minced)
  • kale, 1/2 bunch
  • parmesan, 1/4 cup (or more to taste)
  • lemon juice, 1/4 cup (or to taste)
  • cannelini beans, 1 can (drained and rinsed)
  • semidried tomatoes, handful (sliced thin)
  • feta, 100-200 g

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to the boil and cook pasta until al dente. When done, rinse with cold water briefly.
  • Heat olive oil on medium-high heat and add red onion. Stir for a couple of minutes then add mushrooms and garlic. Keep cooking until onion is translucent and mushrooms are tender.
  • While onion and mushrooms are cooking, strip leaves from kale stems and tear as you add them to a colander. Rinse and shake away excess moisture. (No need to actually dry them.)
  • Add kale to the pan and cover to steam for 3-5 minutes. The residual moisture should stop the other vegies from sticking to the pan.
  • Meanwhile, mix pasta with parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Chop semidried tomatoes if you haven't already.
  • Add cannelini beans to vegies in pan, stir well, and continue to cook for another 1–2 minutes until heated through. Season to taste.
  • Serve pasta mixture topped with vege mixture, sundried tomatoes, and crumbled feta (or if you're not fussed with presentation just combine the lot).
  • Enjoy!
