For the winter salad:
Method

3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the orecchiette until tender, around 10-15 minutes.
4. Drain, reserving some of the pasta water.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the cavolo nero mixture and mix it all together thoroughly, adding a little of the pasta water and a little extra oil for moisture.
6. Serve sprinkled with freshly grated Pecorino and a final drizzle of oil.
7. To follow the pasta, make the winter salad, mix together the lamb's lettuce, carrot, orange juice and honey and serve at once.
