This vibrant penne rigate with mixed greens and pine nuts is a sophisticated yet simple vegetarian dish, perfect for a mid-week supper. By using pre-prepared bags of Mediterranean salad leaves, including bitter radicchio, you create a complex flavour profile with minimal effort. The greens wilt down into a silky sauce, beautifully complemented by the crunch of toasted pine nuts and the richness of melted butter and olive oil.
Ideal for those seeking a lighter pasta option, this recipe balances earthy vegetables with the salty depth of Parmigiano-Reggiano. It is a nutritious homemade meal that feels elegant enough for entertaining guests. Serve it piping hot with an extra dusting of cheese and a crisp glass of white wine for a complete Italian-inspired experience.
