- In a large frying pan, gently heat the olive oil with the anchovies and garlic. To avoid burning the garlic, cook it over a very low heat and push it all to the side of the pan.
- After about 5 mins, add the lemon zest and kale. Give it all a stir and cover with a lid. Cook for another 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta, following the packet instructions. Stir the crème fraîche (or cream) through the kale, add a little lemon juice and turn off the heat.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the kale. Stir and serve with a little grating of Parmesan, if you like.
- Tip: To make this recipe gluten-free, swap the pasta for Tesco Free From fusilli pasta.
