Chef's tip

If you want to turn this dish vegan, just omit completely the diced cheddar cheese or replace it with some soy cream and toasted, crumbled walnuts or almonds!

Serving suggestion

This dish goes well with almost any kind of course. Choice is yours!

Wine selection

Sauvignon blanc, Pinot noir or Chardonnay.

Family tip

We recommend using 1 litre of water for every 100 g of pasta.

Dish history

This recipe comes as a variation to the most famous 'pasta coi broccoli', which is a very appreciated dish of the peasant tradition. Here we suggest you enrich it a bit by adding some peas, a potato and diced Cheddar cheese.. You won't be disappointed!
