Cooking Steps

Boil a large pot of salted water. TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

When boiling, add the spinach and kale and boil for 2-3 mins. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the wilted spinach and kale and set aside to cool.

Add the rigatoni to the pot of water and bring back to the boil. Cook until softened, 10-12 mins. Once cooked (reserve some pasta cooking water) and drain the rest in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat. Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.

Meanwhile, bash or roughly chop the hazelnuts. Place a pan over medium heat (no oil). Once hot, dry-fry the hazelnuts until toasted, stirring regularly, 2-3 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside. TIP: Watch them closely—they can burn easily.

Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.

Zest and quarter the lemon.

In a small bowl, marinate half of the tomato chunks with a pinch of lemon zest, chili flakes (add less if you don't like the heat), a squeeze pf lemon juice and a drizzle of oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Once cooled, squeeze out any excess liquid from the wilted kale and spinach leaves in a sieve.

Put the spinach, kale, creme fraiche, half the Greek style cheese, half the Italian herbs (per 2P) and any remaining lemon zest into a blender and blend to a puree.

Pour the sauce into the pasta and allow to warm through in the pot for 1-2 mins. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce, if required. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Divide the pasta among plates and top with marinated tomatoes and the remaining feta cheese for the adults. For the children, scatter the remaining diced tomatoes over the pasta. Top both plates with the toasted hazelnuts.
