If you don’t know about Cascatelli go listen to the Sporkful podcast mini series Impastable. Basically Dan Paschmin sets out on a quest to create the perfect pasta. I don’t know if it’s perfect, but it’s damn good and I waited at least 10 weeks for my boxes to arrive.
I threw together the sauce tonight based on what we had. And I didn’t measure anything. But it turned out well so here’s what I did.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground Turkey
- Pesto Parmesan shaker spice from Penzky’s
- EVOO
- Salt and pepper
- Italian spice blend
- 2 shallots
- 1/2 head broccoli
- Most of a bag of spinach
- 1/2 box cherry tomatoes cut in half
- Couple splashes of White wine
- Drizzle of balsamic
- Splash of lemon juice
- 3 slices mozzarella cheese
- Calabria spicy sauce (just a bit)
- 1 Tbsp butter
- Splash of cream
- Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 box cascatelli pasta
- Several ladle-fulls of starchy pasta water in the sauce
I am breaking my blog rules by not keeping track of measurements but I’m tired and leave for Mexico on Saturday and didn’t want to lose track of the ingredients if I want to make something similar again.
