SERVES 5
A simple recipe from Aplenty perfect for Mother's Day.
Ingredients
- 1 packet of Cavatelli
- 4 Pork & Fennel Sausages, skins off
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
- 1 bunch Chicory/other bitter green
- Parmesan — 2 big handfuls!
- Juice & zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 2.5 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
Method
- Put your water on and salt generously — salty like the Med!
- Gently fry your garlic in a generous pour of olive oil. Add in your sausage and gently brown, pour over your chicken stock and let simmer and reduce to a thicker sauce.
- Cook your pasta, and about 1 minute before it is ready, add in the chicory. Before straining, take out a jug of the starchy water.
- Add to your pork, your cheese, and a glug of starchty water and stir to emulsify.
- Pour out over the platter and serve at the table.
Aplenty served this with a lovely pink raddichio salad and some prosciutto and persimmon.
