Ingredients

120g Tenderstem Broccoli, ends trimmed

125g Shiitake Mushrooms, quartered
8-10 Cherry Tomatoes, quartered

Good Quality Olive Oil

Quick tip

I like my broccoli with a bit of bite, but if you prefer it softer than fry it for a little longer before adding the mushrooms to the pan, or even par boil it for a couple of minutes first.

Method

1. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat before adding the broccoli and frying for a couple of minutes. Then add the mushrooms and continue to fry for another 5 minutes or so, until the mushrooms are nicely brown and the broccoli has started to colour.
2. Add the garlic and tomatoes and fry for a further 2 minutes before adding the black kale. Season well with the salt and pepper, give it a good mix and continue to fry for 3 minutes or until the kale has begun to wilt. Then take the pan off the heat and set to one side.
3. Bring a pan of at least 1.5 ltrs of water to boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the Root One Penne. Cook for 6-7 minutes before straining, rinsing and adding to the pan with the vegetables.
4. Mix well, the juice from the tomatoes should lightly coat the pasta, then serve!
