Cooking Instructions
- Finely dice the onion. Heat a medium frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 mins. Add the garlic paste, sundried tomato paste and spice mix. Drain and rinse the beans, then add to the pan. Cook for 2 mins, then roughly mash the beans with a wooden spoon.
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the penne and boil for 7-8 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Finely chop the broccoli. Add the broccoli, kale and 450ml hot water to the bean pan. Crumble in the stock cube and stir. Bring to a boil and cook for 4 mins, until the kale has wilted. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Add the cream to the pan and simmer for another 4-5 mins, until thickened slightly. Add the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry.
- Serve the pasta in bowls and garnish with the parm cheez.
