Pasta with broccoli, spicy gorgonzola , walnuts and orange.
Earlier this week it seemed that spring had arrived early. Blue skies and wonderful hot sun. My hopes were up and I started to think of summer. But , then as fast as it came the warm weather disappeared behind grey clouds , drenching rain and cold winds. Suddenly ,my hopes were dashed.
I needed to do something to counter this blue feeling that was coming over me.
What better than a broccoli and blue cheese pasta .simple and tasty ,just right for a midweek cheering up.
So , the moral of the story is: why feel blue when you can have the wonderful tangy taste of a great blue cheese instead !!
serve 4
400 grams of short pasta ( as trofie,penne or fusilli)
2 broccoli
100 grams spicy gorgonzola
150 grams Taleggio cheese
1 orange zest peeled
10 chopped walnuts
salt and pepper
Here’s how:
Clean the broccoli. In a large pot, boil water, pour in the broccoli and a pinch of salt. When the water boil again, add the pasta. Cut the cheese into small cubes. In a serving dish put 1 / 3 of the sliced cheeses and some orange zest. Take a side 1 / 2 ladle of water from the cooking pasta. Drain the pasta and broccoli and pour into serving dish with chesses, add 1 / 2 ladle of water, add the rest of the cheese, salt, pepper and other orange chopped walnuts and mix well.
