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.
- Melt a knob of butter in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the meatballs for 4 - 5 minutes until evenly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
2
- Meanwhile, crush or mince the garlic.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Boil plenty of water for the pasta in the same pot from step 1 and crumble in the stock cube. Cook the orzo for 10 - 12 minutes over low heat, stirring regularly. Reserve some of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Lower the heat of the deep frying pan, half the meatballs with a spatula and add the garlic and onion. Cover with the lid, then fry for a further 3 minutes.
3
- Remove the lid from the meatballs, add the potato seasoning and cooking cream and let cook for 2 minutes.
- Zest and juice the lemon. Stir 1/2 tbsp lemon juice per person into the sauce and let simmer until serving.
- Add the sage and the rest of the butter to a frying pan and melt the butter over medium-high heat while stirring. The butter will splatter at first but will foam and turn light brown after about 4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the butter and sage to a small bowl.
4
- Add the pasta, broccoli and pasta water as preferred to the sauce, mix well and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the pasta on deep plates, and top for the parents with the sage beurre noisette, cheddar and lemon zest to taste.
Did you know... broccoli is considered a superfood, and for good reason - not only is it high in vitamins B, C and E, it's also a great source of calcium, potassium and iron.
