Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 150 g fresh pasta
- 1 small head of broccoli, cut into fairly small florets
- 142 ml single cream
- 75g blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon of fresh chives, chopped finely
- A pinch of pink himalayan salt and fresh ground black pepper to serve.
Method
- Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water for about 7 minutes. If using dried pasta, cook for 10 to 12 minutes
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets
- Drain the pasta and broccoli thoroughly - a quick whizz in a salad spinner does the trick!
- Pop the pasta and broccoli back into the hot pan, add the crumbled blue cheese, pour over the cream, sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.
