  • 50g Co-op sliced curly kale
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • 15g Co-op Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp Co-op extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the tortelloni according to the pack instructions.

  3. Pulse for a few seconds until combined, then add 1½ tbsp of the oil. Pulse again briefly, then set aside.
