Jono & Jules do food & wine

We just love “The Silver Spoon” cookbooks: simple sounding recipes that really work and are so tasty 🙂

Tonight we cooked Linguine with Broccoli and Pancetta – simple ingredients but surprisingly delicious!

From the Silver Spoon Pasta book (serves 4):

• Cut 600g broccoli into florets (and we chopped up the stalks too).
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan. Add 120g diced pancetta and cook on a medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes.
• Stir in 1 finely chopped clove of garlic and half the broccoli and cook for 5 minutes. Stir every now and again.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon tomato puree and 150ml vegetable stock (we use Marigold Swiss Bouillon), lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes (or until the broccoli is tender but firm).
• Cook 350g linguine with the rest of the broccoli in lots of salty water until al dente.
• Drain, tip into the pan with the sauce and toss over the heat for a few minutes.
• Sprinkle over 40g grated Parmesan to serve.

Enjoy 😉
