Discover the flavors of Pasta with Broccoli and Potatoes: A Sicilian Dream—an easy, hearty vegetarian dish that delights!
Transport yourself to the sun-kissed shores of Sicily with Vito Costa's delightful recipe for Pasta with Broccoli and Potatoes.
This dish brings together the earthy richness of broccoli and the comforting texture of potatoes, all bound together by the creamy magic of caciocavallo cheese.
Imagine the aromas wafting through your kitchen as the ingredients meld into a harmonious creation.
This simple yet hearty vegetarian dish is perfect for a family gathering or a quiet evening meal, best enjoyed with a glass of Sicilian wine to truly capture the spirit of the region.
Rinse the broccoli thoroughly. Trim the stem and separate the florets. Chop any large florets into halves or quarters.
Peel the potatoes and chop them into evenly sized pieces.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and broccoli and cook until tender, about 20–25 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté a clove of garlic until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Drain the cooked vegetables, reserving the cooking water. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and grated caciocavallo cheese. Mix well.
Bring the reserved cooking water back to a boil and cook the pasta al dente, following package instructions.
Blend 2/3 of the cooked broccoli and potatoes until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of reserved cooking water if needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the creamy mixture into the skillet used for the garlic. Add the cooked pasta, sun-dried tomatoes (soaked and sliced), and combine thoroughly.
Divide the pasta among serving plates, topping each with the remaining broccoli florets and potato pieces. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper.
For a spicier kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic. You can substitute caciocavallo cheese with parmesan or pecorino for a different flavour profile.
Pair this dish with a glass of Contea di Sclafani Rosso Novello, a light and fruity Sicilian red wine that perfectly complements the flavours of the pasta.
Thank you for exploring this Sicilian culinary journey with me. I hope you enjoy making and savouring this Pasta with Broccoli and Potatoes as much as I do. Buon appetito!
