Organic Fusilli with Kale & Olives
Three simple ingredients. Flavor that goes beyond. Our Organic Fusilli springs into action alongside kale and briny olives. Serve it hot as a comforting entrée or chilled as a refreshing salad – with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in either case.
Sometimes, a meal doesn’t insist on a moment. It adapts to it. A quick dinner after a long day, or something simple shared slowly when time feels less urgent. Either way, it’s about ease. Combined with great taste. Food that meets you where you are, not the other way around.

Fusilli
Directions
- 1
Start by adding water to a large pot, leaving some space at the top. While waiting for the water to boil, remove the kale leaves from the stems and break into chunky pieces.

Once the water boils, add a tablespoon of rock salt and mix using a wooden spoon until it dissolves. Add 8.8oz/250g Organic Fusilli pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook for 8 minutes as shown on the packet instructions.

While the pasta is cooking, add the kale to the same pot and stir through. Leave to cook together until the pasta is ready – by this time, the kale will be tender too.

In the meantime, put your pan on the stove at a medium-low heat and add 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Add the olives to your pan along with a teaspoon of dry chili and a crushed garlic clove. Mix this together using a wooden spoon and let it gently sauté for approx. 30 seconds.
- 5
Strain the pasta and kale using a colander and then transfer straight into the pan.
- 6
Add another 2 tablespoons (or a generous drizzle) of extra virgin olive oil and toss together well.

Serve immediately! Using a large spoon, add the amount desired to a flat plate or bowl. Add some cracked pepper if you desire, or even a sprinkle of grated Pecorino Romano cheese… YUM! This can also be served cold and is just as delicious!
