Cooking Steps
1
- Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan.
- Cut the head of the broccoli into small florets and dice the stem.
- Boil the broccoli for 4 - 6 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
2
- Boil plenty of water in the same pot and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
- Cook the orzo for 10 - 12 minutes over low heat, stirring regularly.
- Reserve some of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
3
- Melt a knob of butter in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the meatballs for 4 - 5 minutes until evenly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lower the heat and halve the meatballs with a spatula, then add the garlic and onion.
- Cover with the lid and fry for 3 more minutes.
4
- Add the potato seasoning, the Hello Buon Appetito and the cream to the meatballs.
- Cook for 2 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, zest and juice the lime.
- Stir 0.5 tbsp lime juice per person into the sauce and allow to simmer until serving.
5
- Add the sage and a generous knob of butter to a frying pan.
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat, stirring regularly.
- The butter will splatter at first, but after around 4 minutes it will start to foam and turn light brown.
- When this happens, transfer immediately to a small bowl.
6
- Transfer the broccoli and the orzo to the meatballs and mix well to combine with the sauce. Add a splash of pasta water as necessary and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the orzo on deep plates.
- For parents: top with the sage beurre noisette, the cheese and the lime zest as preferred.
