  • 200g broccolini, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 can butter beans, drained (drained weight 235g)
  • 20g pine nuts
  • 4-6 tbsp single cream

Steam broccolini for 5-7 minutes until tender. Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, fry the butter beans for a few minutes until browned.  Add the pine nuts and fry until lightly browned, remove from the heat and stir in the cream.  Toss the broccolini with the beans and add the parmesan, season well.

Broccoli Walnut Pasta

Mar 4

Posted by the editor in maltese, pasta, the recipes, vegetarian | No Comments

“This creamy and hardy pasta is a tasty way to eat your veggies… and get some essential fatty acids (from the walnuts)”.

  • 300g pasta, penne
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 450g broccoli, cut into florets about 1/2inch across
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes, optional
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped (approx. 65g)
  • ¼ cup parmesan, grated

Cook pasta to packet instructions. Meanwhile start steaming the broccoli, if you don’t have a steamer, boil it in water. Steaming is tastier, as it retains all the flavour and vitamins in the broccoli. Toast the chopped walnuts by frying in a dry frying pan.

Fry the garlic and chili flakes in the 2 tablespoons of oil until golden. Add the steamed broccoli and the toasted walnuts, drizzle with 3 tablespoons of oil and stirfry until the broccoli has been browned slightly. Mix in the Pasta and stir in the Parmesan.

“A new delicious version of the Italian favourite, pesto pasta, with broccoli”

Tip the pasta into a large pan of boiling salted water and cook according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, bring a smaller pan of salted water to the boil, add the broccoli and boil for 4 minutes.

Drain the broccoli and return it to the pan. Lightly mash the broccoli with a potato masher or fork. Finely grate the garlic and zest the lemon, then mix into the broccoli with the chilli flakes and pine nuts. Cut the lemon in half and keep for later.

Drain the pasta and return it to the pan. Stir in the broccoli pesto and squeeze over the juice of 1⁄2 lemon. Pour in the olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper. Spoon in the grated parmesan, toss the pasta well and serve.

Notes : Try steaming the broccoli instead of boiling it, steaming really helps the broccoli to retain it’s flavour and nutrition.

“Create a delicious beef and broccoli meal in one pot, fast! Contains 2 of your 5-a-day”

  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 50 g Unsalted Cashews
  • 400 g Frying Beef Steak, Cut Into Strips (Minute Steak)
  • 1 large Broccoli, Broken Into Florets
  • 4 Celery Sticks, Sliced
  • 150 ml Beef Stock
  • 2 tbsp. Horseradish Sauce (Colemans Horseradish works)
  • 2 tbsp. Low-Fat Fromage Frais (We used Soya Cream)

Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the nuts and toss for a few secs until lightly toasted. Set aside.

Season the steak strips with plenty of pepper and stir-fry over a high heat for 1-2 mins to brown. Set aside with the nuts. Tip the broccoli and celery into the pan and stir-fry for 2 mins. Pour the stock over, cover and simmer for 2 mins. Meanwhile, mix the horseradish and fromage frais together.

Return the steak to the pan and toss with the veg, then sprinkle over the nuts and serve with the creamy horseradish. Great with mashed potatoes.

Notes : To make it with more vegetables add 2 sliced or crushed garlic cloves and more vegetables, such as sliced carrot, mushrooms, cabbage or leeks. Making it Oriental Season the steak with 1 tsp Chinese five spice powder. Use olive oil mixed with a little sesame oil for stir-frying and replace the horseradish sauce with soy sauce.
