  3. Simmer for around 15 mins until the potatoes and pasta are cooked. A couple of minutes from the end, add the cavolo nero and add a drop more water if you need to make it more ‘soupy’.

  5. Don’t have borlotti beans? Use pinto or cannellini beans - -No Parmesan rinds? Don’t let it stop you, just save them in a bag in the fridge or freezer for next time….they keep for ages! - -No cavolo nero? Use kale as an alternative or spinach - -Feel free to add and interchange vegetables that you have or that need using up.
