Spaghetti with broccoli and red wine


INGREDIENTS
800 g of broccoli
450 g of spaghetti
1 teaspoon of sugar
4 cloves of garlic
1/3 cup of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of chili pepper flakes
Salt according to taste
Ground black pepper according to taste
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan
750 ml of dry red wine

PREPARATION
1. Cut the broccoli into florets and place them into a pan of boiling salted water to avoid getting a bitter taste. Take the florets out and place them in a large bowl.

2. Bring the water with the broccoli to the boil and cook the spaghetti for 5 minutes, stirring. Then drain the water.

3. Combine the wine and sugar in a large pan and boil for 2 minutes. Add the spaghetti and cook it for 6 minutes until most of the wine evaporates. The pasta should be al dente.

4. Heat up the olive oil in a skillet. Add the chopped garlic and chili pepper flakes. Fry until the garlic turns golden. Then add the broccoli, salt and black pepper and cook everything, stirring, for one minute.

5. Add the spaghetti in the skillet and cook until all the wine evaporates. Turn off the stove, add the cheese, and serve hot.

RASPBERRY MASCARPONE TART WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

A dark chocolate cookie crust filled with whipped mascarpone and topped with raspberries.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?  We really don’t go like to go crazy for this “holiday”, our life is crazy enough 🙂  Although you won’t find us in a restaurant,  maybe I’ll make dessert.   Sometimes I’ll make a heart shaped breakfast for the kids, or some heart shaped cookies.  So creative I know! Stepping away from the hearts this year, but I definitely think that for Valentine’s Day chocolate is a must!  That’s why I started this tart with a dark chocolate cookie crust.  The rich chocolate flavor goes perfectly well with the smooth creamy whipped mascarpone filling.  Mascarpone cheese is a little indulgent (and challenging to spell!) but what better excuse than love to bake with the best ingredients. A few simple raspberries are the topping.  I just love the gorgeous color they gave t...

CHERRY GALETTES WITH ALMOND SOUR CREAM CRUST

Another month has passed and it’s time for Mystery Dish!  This month’s host was Sarah at The Pajama Chef.  She put together an great list of items including:  coffee, sour cream, farro, almonds, cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe, jicama, cucumber, tomatoes, flavored oils, herbs, cornmeal and hot peppers.  Since cherries are one of the few fruits I love, and they are only in season for approximately 12 seconds each year, I knew they had to be in my recipe.  Visions of pastry danced in my head. When served up a fruit pie, I tend to eat all the crust and leave the fruit on my plate.  I can truly embrace a “pie” with a higher crust to filling ratio.  How I love the galette (French),  also sometimes known as a crostata (Italian).  Regardless of the origins, who doesn’t love more buttery flaky crust? We had to use at least 3 ingredients in our mystery dish, so I decided to add some almonds and sour cream into my pie crust.   Sour cre...
