Helloooooooo
I currently feel like I am going to explode. Oh wait, that is not a good start to this… Uhm, I have a perfectly light dish for you. Ok, it’s not light, but it’s delicious. It’s delicious because pasta is great, broccoli is great, crème fraîche is great and so is cheese. And that’s what you need for this recipe. But beware it’s really really heavy. I’m serious.
That’s what you need:
- 400g tagliatelle
- 200g broccoli
- 250g crème fraîche
- 150g parmesan cheese, grated
- 150g taleggio (or just any soft cheese), sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- small handful fresh thyme, chopped
- drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
That’s how it goes:
1. Cook tagliatelle according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, cut the broccoli. Steam or boil for about three minutes until tender.
2. While the pasta and broccoli are cooking, make the sauce by placing the crème fraîche, taleggio and parmesan in a pan over a very low heat with the crushed garlic. Add a small handful of chopped fresh thyme (oregano and majoram would work as well) and heat everything gently, stirring to mix the melting cheese, adding a grind of fresh black pepper.
3. Once the sauce is ready pour it over the cooked tagliatelle and broccoli and serve in deep bowl sprinkled with extra parmesan and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
And that’s it. You can of course change it up as you like.
I got the recipe from www.redonline.co.uk
And again: beware, you probably won’t be able to eat a lot of it.
Still recovering.
Hope you’ll weekend will be great.
