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’.
Pull out the rinds and bay leaves. Serve with grated Parmesan and teaspoon of pesto on top of each bowl, if using.
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.
