This is my go to weeknight dinner when I need something delicious on the table fast. Packed with nutrient rich kale, which is absolutely loaded with vitamins and minerals, this dish comes together in under 30 minutes from start to finish. The creamy ricotta brings such a lovely richness without any fuss, while fresh basil and a hit of chilli keep everything bright and lively. Best of all, it's made with simple store cupboard ingredients that won't break the bank, yet tastes like you've spent ages in the kitchen.

What I love most is how simple this really is: just potatoes, fat, flour, and salt. From prep to plate in just over an hour, you'll have restaurant quality results without any fuss.
