Emergency brocolli pasta recipe

10 replies

PerspicaciaTick · 20/07/2020 18:32

DD decided to cook the puree brocolli pasta recipe that Amy Schumer did on her "learns to cook" show.
Bought all the ingredients but now we've lost the recipe.
Can anyone help point us in the right direction please?
Thanks in desperation...we have half a ton of brocolli, Cauliflower and parmesan and no idea what to do with it.

Thanks everyone but the links don't have the recipe. I have the ingredients but no method for combining them.
I'm hoping that there is an MNer out there whose had a go at the recipe and can tell me how the bits all end being combined.

This looks pretty similar www.recipetineats.com/quick-broccoli-pasta/

Thanks Gotthe, excellent dupe.
I ended up making up my own method, DD refused to cook. Everyone moaned. I really enjoyed it though. Probably not one to repeat.

Ungrateful lot! Punish them by putting it on weekly rotation Grin.

Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When the water is boiling vigorously, add the pasta and cook for approximately 12 minutes, stirring and tossing the pasta in the boiling water every few minutes to prevent it from clumping or sticking. Reserve some of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
Meanwhile, bring about 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil in a small pot. Chop the broccoli stems and add them to the boiling water along with about a quarter of the broccoli florets and the onions. Cook until very soft, about 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and add the butter and a hearty amount of salt. Cover with a lid to cool, about 15 minutes.
When cool, transfer the contents of the pot to a blender, add the juice from the lemon half and puree until very smooth. Check the seasoning and add salt as necessary.
Heat 2 large saute pans over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to each. Saute the remaining broccoli florets in one pan and the cauliflower florets in the other, tossing every couple minutes, for about 10 minutes total or until the broccoli and cauliflower have color and are starting to soften and break apart. Add half of the garlic to each pan and toss well, cooking another few minutes or until the vegetables are just cooked through.
Remove from the heat and combine the broccoli and cauliflower in one pan. Stir in the pureed broccoli, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and the pasta. Turn the heat back on and heat everything up, tossing together well and adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce, until well coated. Serve topped with a healthy amount of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Cook’s Note

Breadcrumbs would also be a great addition to this pasta.

That is a lot of pans for pasta and veg

PerspicaciaTick · 21/07/2020 08:53

Thank you @Tereskova, I may give the proper recipe a go now I can see what I was supposed to do.
My version used way less pans though!
