How to:

Make your own pasta

Place 500 g flour on a clean work surface then create a well.

Add 6 free-range to the well then carefully incorporate into the flour, with 1 T olive oil and ½ t salt, until a dough begins to form.

Knead the dough until supple, then cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Dust the work surface with some semolina flour then, using a rolling pin or pasta-rolling machine, roll out the pasta dough to your desired thickness.

Using a flower-shaped cookie-cutter, cut out flower shapes from the dough.

Place a saucepan of water over a high heat. Add a little salt then bring to the boil.

Add the pasta cutouts then cook for a few minutes, until al dente.

Recipe by: Phillippa Cheifitz
Serves: 3 to 4
Dietary considerations: Fat conscious
Category: Vegetarian / Easy / Kid-friendly / Quick
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
500 g broccoli
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
350-400 g fresh taglioni
Olive oil
1 red chilli, split
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 log chevin (goat’s-milk cheese)
Tapenade, for serving
Cooking instructions:

Separate the broccoli into florets and slice in half if large.

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then drop the broccoli florets into the boiling water. Return to a boil, then remove using a slotted spoon.

Stir in the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, but reserve the cooking water. Meanwhile, gently heat a few glugs of olive oil with the chilli and garlic in a large pan.

Add the broccoli and stir, then mix in the pasta. Add a ladle or two of the pasta water, then crumble the cheese over the pasta and cook for a few minutes, stirring, until it starts to melt.

Check seasoning, noting that the tapenade is salty. If necessary, add another ladle of the reserved pasta water to loosen the taglioni.

Serve drizzled with olive oil and a spoonful of tapenade.


Cook’s tip: Double the chevin if you want to make the meal extra cheesy, or sprinkle with Parmesan at the table.
