Penne with Rocket, Pine Nuts and Twineham Grange Italian Style Hard Cheese

This recipe requires a substantial bunch of rocket – the sort you pick-up from the farmers’ market on a Saturday morning.

400g fresh penne
225g rocket
2 garlic cloves, peeled & finely chopped
Olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Squeeze of lemon juice
50g pine nuts, (toasted, if you have time)
50g freshly grated Twineham Grange Italian Style Hard Cheese

 

Start cooking the pasta.

Just before the pasta is cooked, stir-fry the rocket with the garlic in 2 tbsp of olive oil for 2-3 minutes, until rocket is wilted.

Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Drain the pasta then put it back into the still-warm pan.

Quickly reheat the rocket, then add it to the pasta (along with a little extra olive oil if you think the mixture needs it) with the pine nuts and cheese.

Mix gently, check the seasoning and serve.
