Ingredients

  • 325g spaghetti
  • 320g frozen garden peas
  • ½ 200g bag of sliced kale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 125g vegetarian hard cheese, finely grated, plus 1 handful, shavings, to serve

Method

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling salted water as per pack instructions. Add the peas for the last 2 mins and the kale for the last 30 secs.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the ground black pepper and toast for about 2 mins.

Step 3

Drain the spaghetti and veg, reserving 2 ladles of the pasta water. Working quickly, tip the spaghetti and veg into the black pepper pan along with the grated cheese and toss over a low heat, adding half a ladleful of reserved pasta water at a time, until the strands are coated in a thin cheesy sauce.

Step 4

Serve immediately, topping with more ground black pepper and the cheese shavings.
