Chicory contains polarising but healthy bitter substances. This is a quick and easy pasta dish for any day of the week. And if you have any chicory left over, you can cook it in the same way and enjoy it the following day with a bit of bread – delicious. Like with all pasta dishes, it's very important that the pasta water is sufficiently salted – we like to say "bordering on sea water". This is because the pasta water is part of the dish and is often incorporated into the sauce and vegetables, as is the case here.
