Apulian orecchiette with turnip greens
preparation
step 1
We remove the largest leaves, select the florets and the smallest and tender leaves. We help ourselves with a small knife and we make this kind of broccoli. We wash and dry them. Let's put it aside.
step 2
In the meantime, put a large pot of water on the fire and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, pour a little extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic cut in half.
step 3
In the pot of boiling water we put the salt and cook the turnip greens. The moment you put the vegetables in the water, it stops boiling. When it starts up again, the orecchiette are added.
step 4
So we have a turnip top cooking which when we go to creaming creates the creaminess to the pasta. If the pasta is fresh, 5 minutes will suffice.
step 5
Drain well leaving aside a little cooking water and put the pasta and drained tops in a bowl. At this point, sauté in the pan with the ectra virgin olive oil.
