A three-ingredient paste that on the one hand is easy to make, and on the other hand has a strong and good taste! Inspiration from a Sopranos pasta dish.
4 servings
Ingredients
500 g pasta, eg penne or rigatoni
2 bunches of fresh broccoli
8 sliced garlic cloves
1.2 dl olive oil
2 krm cayenne pepper or chili flakes
2.5 dl grated pecorino (alternatively parmesan)
Description:
- Cut the broccoli into small florets and slice the stem into small pieces.
- Boil 5 liters of water in a large saucepan and add 1.5 tablespoons of salt.
- Add the broccoli and cook for 5 minutes. Then remove it with a slotted spoon and save the water.
- Pour the oil into a pot or pan that holds the whole dish. Add the garlic and chilli and fry on medium heat for a few minutes.
- Add the broccoli and salt a little. Fry for 10 minutes (the broccoli should be completely soft and fall apart).
- Boil the pasta water again and cook the pasta almost ready.
- Save 2.5-5 dl of pasta water when filled with starch. Pour off the rest.
- Pour the pasta into the pot with broccoli and stir. Pour over the remaining water and the grated cheese and stir. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Pairs with:
Safe cards with red wine, but due to the extra vegetarian touch with broccoli, white wine also works well.
