This vibrant penne with yau choy is a nutritious high-protein dish that brings a fresh, leafy twist to a classic pasta supper. The subtly sweet flavour of the yau choy stems and leaves pairs beautifully with the salty depth of crisp bacon and caramelised onions. By using the pasta cooking water to create a light, savoury sauce, the dish remains silky and well-flavoured without the need for heavy cream.

Ideal for a quick midweek meal, this recipe offers a clever way to introduce more greens into your diet while still feeling wonderfully comforting. The combination of protein-rich pasta and fresh vegetables makes it a balanced choice for a family dinner. Serve with an extra dusting of parmesan and a crack of black pepper for a simple, satisfying homemade meal.

Ingredients for Penne with Yau Choy

900g yau choy
170g bacon, chopped
2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva
1 large onion (450g), quartered lengthwise, then sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick
2 dientes de ajo, picados
450g penne rigate
30g finely grated parmesan (80g )

How to make Penne with Yau Choy

Discard tough ends from yau choy, then chop stems into 1-inch pieces and coarsely chop leaves. Cook stems in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in leaves and cook 1 minute. Transfer yau choy with a slotted spoon to a colander (keep water simmering for pasta), then rinse under cold water to stop cooking and drain again. Do not squeeze out excess water.

Cook bacon in oil in a 12-inch deep heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 15 minutes. Add garlic to onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes.

While onion and garlic are cooking, bring pot of simmering water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 240ml pasta cooking water, then drain pasta in colander.

Add reserved cooking water to onion and cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 30 seconds. Add yau choy and toss to combine. Add pasta, cheese, salt, and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, tossing, until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
