Method

Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, then add the shallot with a pinch of salt and cook for about 4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for another 30 seconds.
Pour in the stock, then bring to a simmer. Add the beans and cook for 3 minutes to warm through. Stir in the tortelloni and cavolo nero and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Serve in bowls with a drizzle of olive oil and some extra chilli flakes on top.
