Cheese & Tenderstem® Pasta
Method
-
Start by preparing the pasta, bring a saucepan of water to the boil, adding a small pinch of salt to help stop the pasta sticking to the pan. Allow the pasta to simmer on the boil for around 10-15 minutes
-
Melt a small knob of butter with a dash of plain flour and stir into a paste, add the milk and stir constantly until smooth
-
Add your cheese to the sauce mixture until you reach a desired taste. I like mine really cheesey!
-
While that’s cooking, prepare your veg. I used Tenderstem® and green beans because they’re easy, but peas, broccoli and other green veg work well too. For the Tenderstem® everything is good to eat even the stem. Slice up your green beans and then boil together for around 5 minutes. If you prefer them softer boil for a little longer. Add your veggies in with your cheese sauce and stir well
-
When your pasta is cooked, drain the water away and stir in with your cheese and green sauce
