Pasta With Turnip Tops

🧂 Ingredients

1 Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil ready for the pasta.
2 Trim the larger stems and ribs from the turnip tops and discard, together with
any wilted leaves. (Substitute broccoli if wished.)
3 Wash well, drain and cut into small pieces. Sprinkle the pasta into the fast
boiling water to prevent it coming off the boil and cook for 14 minutes before
adding your chosen green vegetable, the peeled, whole garlic cloves and the
whole chilli pepper.
4 Cook until the green vegetable is only just tender and still a little crisp
(about 10-11 minutes). Reserve a little of the cooking liquid when draining the
contents of the saucepan.
5 Remove and discard the garlic and chilli pepper. Transfer to a large, heated
serving dish, sprinkle with a little of the reserved liquid, the olive oil and
freshly ground pepper.
6 Serve at once, on individual heated plates.
