Boil a pan of water and add salt.

Add 150 grams of spaghetti to the boiling water and cook for 8 minutes.

Smash and peel 4 cloves of garlic, then add them to the boiling pasta.

Prepare 200 grams of cavolo nero by pulling off the leaves from the stalk.

Add the cavolo nero to the pasta and cover with a lid to boil for about 5 minutes.

Grate 30 grams of parmesan cheese while the pasta and cabbage are cooking.

After 5 minutes, remove the lid and transfer the cavolo nero and garlic to a blender.

Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, 1.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and a little cooking water from the pasta to the blender.

Blend until smooth to create a vibrant sauce.

Drain the spaghetti, leaving some water, and return it to the pan.

Pour the blended sauce over the spaghetti and mix well.

Fold in 30 grams of fresh ricotta cheese for added flavor.

Finish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top before serving.
