Great Italian macaroni recipes : Maccheroni Bianchiverdi.
Maccheroni Bianchiverdi is one of the most delicious macaroni recipes we know - and takes minutes to make. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian macaroni recipe you’ve found it.
Why macaroni?
Macaroni is one of the best pastas to use with a cheese sauce. Because it’s thicker than spaghetti and rounder than tagliatelle, the creamy sauce clings to it much more easily.
This recipe is enough to feed four people as a main course.
Macaroni recipe : ingredients.
✱ 320 grammes (11 oz) macaroni - fresh or dried
✱ 200 grammes (8 oz) Mozarella cheese, drained
✱ 1 good sized bundle Rocket (U.S. - arugula) - we use about 150 grammes / 6 cups
✱ 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
✱ 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
✱ Salt and pepper to taste
How to make it.
✱ If you want a really great taste, try making your own pasta and leave to dry while you make the sauce.
✱ Wash and dry the Rocket (arugula) leaves, then rip it into thin strips.
✱ Drain the Mozarella and cut into small cubes. Arrange on a serving dish.
✱ Boil a pan full of water with a little salt; add the pasta and about half the Rocket leaves.
✱ In a frying pan, heat the oil and add the chopped garlic; cook on a low light to infuse the oil with the garlic.
✱ When it begins to go dark, remove from the heat.
✱ Drain the pasta, then toss it in the pan with the garlic and oil and put back on the heat to warm it through.
✱ Add the remainder of the Rocket and toss together.
✱ Turn the pasta mixture onto the dish on top of the Mozarella.
✱ We like to place the dish under a grill for a few minutes to brown the top and make sure the pasta is well heated through.
✱ Cover with freshly grated pepper and allow to stand for a couple of minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
✱ Serve onto individual dishes with the cheese layer on top so that it melts through the pasta layers.
