Description
Easy and healthy dish.
Ingredients
4 cups cut broccoli
2 cups milk
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp unbleached flour
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 cups grated cheese or gouda cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
400 g pasta of your choice
Directions
Steam or lightly boil your broccoli for about 5 minutes. You don't want to boil them too much, otherwise they will turn dark green, and they won't look appetizing. When done, set them aside.
Start preparing the pasta. Follow the instructions on the box of your pasta.
Shred the cheese and then, while the pasta is cooking, start preparing the sauce.
Sauce
Put butter and flour into the same pot where you boiled your broccoli. With the pot on a medium fire, mix the butter and the flour with a whisk.
When butter has absorbed all the flour, pour the milk in, add salt, pepper, and the nutmeg. Continue mixing with the whisk.
When you see that milk is becoming a little warmer, add the grated cheese. Very important: to prevent the cheese from forming a ball or sticking to the bottom of the pot, whip non-stop until all the cheese has melted. When the cheese has melted, turn off the fire.
Add the broccoli into the pot. Use a hand blender or food processor to achieve a smooth creamy texture.
Pour the broccoli sauce over your pasta. You will see, everybody will love it!
Enjoy!
