I had to come up with a way of making my daughter eat broccoli. She still has no idea that the sauce is green because of the broccoli, all she knows is that the're called Martians ears and she's gotta have them! Orecchiette is a pasta shaped like ears, hence the italian name, 'little ears' Ingredients:
500 g orecchiette |
1 small head broccoli (cooked, steamed or boiled) |
1 medium onion, finely (chopped) |
2 garlic cloves |
handful fennel leaves (chopped) |
1 glass wine |
300 ml yogurt |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 cup pecorino cheese or 1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Boil water for past and add salt.
2. Heat olive oil in pan and saute the garlig and onions. Add the wine and reduce in volume.
3. In a blender toss in the broccoli, onion mix, fennel , yogurt and pecorino.
4. Season with salt and pepper and heat in a sauce pan.
5. In the mean time boil the pasta. When ready mix the pasta and sauce together so that they will be well coated in sauce and look like green ears.
6. Serve .
