Receta Pine nuts and marjoram pasta
A very simple and very tasty dish: you can prepare this sauce while the pasta cooks (and you'll have some time to spare), and it won't disappoint you!
Ingredientes
- 160 g pasta (I usually use the "short sleeves" or something like that, preferably striped pasta -today I hadn't any, so I used the "wolf eyes", smooth pasta)
- 40 g unsalted butter
- 40 g pine nuts
- marjoram
- grated Parmigiano cheese
- salt (for pasta)
Direcciones
- Put a pot of salted water to boil. When the water boils, toss the pasta in (if you use pasta like the "short sleeves", it takes about 12 minutes to be ready).
- Meanwhile, chop roughly the pine nuts (in a mixer, with the bottom of a glass, with a rolling pin or other tool).
- Then, take a little pot or a pan and melt the butter: when melted, add the chopped pine nuts, marjoram (as much as you want .. for me, a lot , because I like its nice scent) and a tablespoon of cooking water.
- Cook for a minute or two, to mix all the flavours, then turn off the heat.
- When the pasta is ready (slightly underdone, for me), drain it (not too much) and dress it with the pine nuts and marjoram sauce; then, finally, add a generous sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese (as you can see in the picture, the sauce adheres to pasta perfectly, the cheese goes springly⦠it's simply delicious!).
