Directions
Peel and wash the chicory (only the tips and the most tender leaves). Cook the chicory in boiling water for a few minutes then drain and rinse in cold water to fix the colour. Add oil, garlic and chilies to a skillet, brown, add the cooked chicory and sauté for 5 minutes, then set aside.
Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water. When cooked, drain but save some cooking water. Tip the pasta into the skillet with the chicory, add the cheese and mix carefully. If it seems too dry, add a little pasta water.
Serve drizzled with olive oil.
