Today maccheroncini with gorgonzola and broccoli is an easy and very tasty first course with the crunchy note of almond slivers just toasted in the pan…
Autumn is coming, temperatures are still pleasant even if in the morning and evening a coat or a nice sweater is necessary, and even at the table we crave enveloping dishes like beautiful legume and vegetable soups that are generally called comfort food!
Broccoli are very good for you and are also delicious as a side dish simply boiled and sautéed in the pan with garlic, chili pepper and excellent EVO oil!

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE RECIPE MACCHERONCINI WITH GORGONZOLA AND BROCCOLI
Wash and cut the broccoli and boil them in salted boiling water for about 7/8 minutes.
If we want to keep the bright green drain them when cooked and immediately place the vegetables in a bowl with ice water!
Let cool then keep the most beautiful florets aside and roughly blend the rest of the boiled vegetables in a blender.Not mandatory addition but it still gives a very tasty crunchy note which is that of the almond slivers, which should be lightly toasted in a non-stick pan for a few minutes.
Keep the dried fruit aside for the final decoration of the first course.Put in a saucepan plenty of water, salt it and when boiling pour the pasta: I maccheroncini but any other short pasta of your choice will be fine too!
In a pan put a little EVO oil and the garlic clove, letting it brown quickly.
Remove it then pour the mix of whole and blended broccoli, letting it flavor over medium heat.Drain the pasta al dente(keep a ladle of cooking water, I recommend) and add it to the broccoli seasoning.
Add also small pieces of gorgonzola, sauté the pasta over medium heat, pouring a little cooking water if needed to make a creamy and delicious sauce.Compose individual dishes and add the golden almond slivers.
Serve the maccheroncini with gorgonzola and broccoli also accompanied by grated grana for those who love this special added seasoning!
Enjoy your meal!

P.S. I CHOSE TO put the gorgonzola directly on the hot just drained pasta but if you prefer melt it over very low heat with the broccoli cream…I ALSO SUGGEST OTHER RECIPES WITH BROCCOLI SUCH AS…
