Prep time

Ingredients
- Penne: 400g penne
- Parmesan: grated parmesan, to serve (optional)
- Streaky Bacon: 100g streaky bacon, chopped
- Onion: 1 medium red onion, finely sliced
- Kale: 200g bag shredded kale
- Goat'S Cheese: 100g soft mild goat's cheese
Directions
- Boil the pasta in salted water. Add the kale for the final 2 mins, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, dry-fry the bacon in a nonstick pan until crisp. Remove from the pan and drain off most of the fat, leaving behind about 1 tsp. Gently fry the onion in the fat for 2-3 mins until soft.
- Tip the cooked pasta and kale into the pan, then stir through the bacon and goat's cheese. Add a little of the pasta cooking water if the mixture seems a bit dry. Serve in bowls scattered with grated Parmesan, if you like.
