Recipes using Organic Pasta made with BROAD BEANS and whole grain Carnaroli rice

Pasta "all’amatriciana"

Time of preparation: n.d. | Difficulty:

Gluten Free

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 250 g Pastificio Fiorentino Organic Pasta made with broad beans and whole grain Carnaroli rice
  • 240 g peeled tomatoes (or 3-4 mature red tomatoes, when in season)
  • 95 g matured jowl bacon, cut into thick slices
  • 40 g grated Pecorino (it should be delicate and not too salty)
  • 1 chilli pepper
  • 1/2 glass of dry white wine
  • Extra-Virgin olive (EVO) oil to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Preparation:

If you are using fresh tomatoes, you first need to blanch them for a few seconds in salted boiling water, then drain and cool under running cold water. Peel, then eliminate the seeds and cut into small strips. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the bacon, cut into thin strips about two centimetres in length. When it starts to melt, add the pepper (whole).Sizzle the bacon until it starts to go brown, then add the white wine over a high heat. Allow to evaporate, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, keeping it hot. In the same saucepan, add the peeled tomatoes, crushed (or fresh tomatoes, previously prepared), add salt to taste, and cook for about 10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water for 6 minutes. When the sauce is nearly cooked, add the bacon and remove the chilli pepper. Drain the pasta al dente and transfer to the saucepan with the sauce. Remove from the heat, add the grated Pecorino and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Mix well and serve piping hot, adding a little more Pecorino to give the final touch to your pasta all'amatriciana.

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 250 g Pastificio Fiorentino Organic Pasta made with broad beans and whole grain Carnaroli rice
  • 400 g pumpkin
  • 40 g diced bacon
  • 1 shallot
  • 1/2 Glass of dry white wine

Firstly prepare the pumpkin by removing the skin and the filaments and seeds, then cut the pulp into cubes. In a saucepan, brown the chopped shallot in a little oil.

Pasta "all’arrabbiata"

Time of preparation: n.d. | Difficulty:

Gluten Free

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 250 g Pastificio Fiorentino Organic Pasta made with broad beans and whole grain Carnaroli rice
  • 4 mature plum tomatoes
  • 1 red chilli pepper
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Extra-Virgin olive (EVO) oil to taste
  • chopped parsley to taste
  • Pecorino Romano to taste
  • Salt to taste

Preparation:

Prepare the sauce for the pasta all’arrabbiata while you bring the water to boil and cook the pasta. Put 2-3 spoonfuls of olive oil in a saucepan with the crushed clove of garlic and the finely chopped chilli pepper, after eliminating all the seeds. Sauté over a moderate heat to allow the oil to absorb the flavours without burning. Remove the garlic from the saucepan and add the diced tomatoes. Heat for a few minutes to obtain a light, brightly coloured sauce. Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water for 6 minutes, then drain and add directly to the sauce. Mix well so that the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce, then drizzle with a little Extra-Virgin olive oil. Transfer to the serving plates, garnish with a little parsley, grated Pecorino cheese to taste, and serve your broad bean pasta with Carnaroli rice all’arrabbiata piping hot.

Pasta "alla carbonara"

Time of preparation: n.d. | Difficulty:

Gluten Free

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 250 g Pastificio Fiorentino Organic Pasta made with broad beans and whole grain Carnaroli rice
  • 2 Yolks
  • 1 Whole egg
  • 130 g jowl bacon
  • 60 g Medium-mature Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 20 g Grated Grana cheese
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste

Preparation:

Bring a pan of water to boil with only a small amount of salt. The Pecorino and the bacon will already add sufficient salt to the dish. In the meantime, cut the bacon into small cubes or quite thick strips, after having eliminated any rind. Heat up a non-stick saucepan and sauté the bacon without adding any other fat: once it is crispy on the outside, turn off the heat. Cook the broad bean pasta in the water for 6 minutes, then drain, setting some of the cooking water aside. In the meantime, beat the egg yolks and whole egg together with a fork and add the Pecorino and the grated Grana cheese, mixing well to reach a creamy consistency. To finish, add a generous sprinkling of pepper, preferably freshly ground. When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the fat released by the bacon, adding a little of the cooking water. If necessary, add some of the cooking water previously set aside, as this will help to make the sauce nice and creamy. Switch off the heat and after about one minute, add the creamed egg and Pecorino to the pasta and bacon. Add the cooking water set aside and, using a wooden spoon, jolt the pasta or stir quickly: in this way, the egg will not cook, creating an omelette effect. To finish, add a generous helping of grated cheese and a good pinch of pepper.
