Tagliatelle with tenderstem, thyme & melting tallegio sauce

Tagliatelle with tenderstem, thyme & melting tallegio sauce

The rich sauce in this simple pasta dish is offset by the light, fresh taste of the Tenderstem broccoli, and is ready in just 10 minutes.

Serves: 4
Preparation and cooking time: 10 minutes

What you need:

  • 400g dried tagliatelle pasta
  • 200g pack Tenderstem® broccoli
  • 250ml crème fraiche
  • 200g Tallegio cheese, sliced
  • 200g Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Small handful fresh thyme, chopped

What you do:

  1. Cook tagliatelle according to packet instructions.
  2. Meanwhile, cut the florets off 200g Tenderstem® and slice the stems into chunks. Steam or boil for about 3 minutes until tender.
  3. While the pasta and Tenderstem® are cooking, make the sauce by placing the crème fraiche, Tallegio and parmesan in a pan over a very low heat with the crushed garlic. Add a small handful of chopped fresh thyme (oregano and marjoram would also work well) and heat everything gently, stirring to mix the melting cheese, adding a grind of fresh black pepper.
  4. Once the sauce is ready pour it over the cooked tagliatelle and Tenderstem® and serve in deep bowls sprinkled with extra parmesan & a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Nisha says: 'Tenderstem, being a robust, spring vegetable, holds its own flavours when spiced. It works well with the toasted citrus notes from the mustard seeds and lemon in this dish.'
