Italian Chef shares Broccoli Pasta Recipe - Food in Florence

A visit to Locale in Florence to see the preparation of Broccoli Pasta. The restaurant is not only a selected restaurant in the Michelin Guide but the bar is rated Top 46 by "The World's 50 Best".

[@juanaq]

crema d'aglio al latte (a common recipe made by my italian grandparents) 200 g of garlic (30/35 cloves) 1 liter of milk extra virgin olive oil to taste Salt to taste. pepper as needed. Peel the garlic cloves, remove the central core and cut them into thin slices. Place the garlic in a saucepan, cover it with milk and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the garlic is soft. Drain the garlic from the milk, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Place the garlic in a blender, add a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and blend until you obtain a smooth cream. If necessary, add a little of the cooking milk to make the cream more fluid. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Your garlic cream is ready to be used.

[@peshmerge44]

and what is done with the rest of the milk?

[@saimaafzal220]

What about the milk??

[@juanaq]

@@saimaafzal220 you can use it, at your own risk, to make your morning expresso machiatto😁. nah, i don't recall they gave it another use than this cream.

[@dianaveitch395]

Perhaps a potato purée????😅

[@dianaveitch395]

Tks a lot to share your grandparents recipe 😊

[@jaydoggy9043]

Sometimes I watch these videos and wonder to myself if I could make any of them? This gentleman showing us step by step his version (though I do not speak Italian) gives me an idea that hey, it doesn't hurt to try! This looks lovely. A big thank you to this restaurant for allowing us into the kitchen. I loved this video.

Bro this is literally basic cooking skills, I'm sorry if you never cooked real food in ur life. U still have time to learn, go for it!!!

[@eizabeth1692]

He skipped the preparation of the garlic and pepper sauces, or did I fall asleep?

[@z3lda808]

For everyone asking about the two sauces that were not shown completely: FWIW if you check the colour of the inside of the thermomix bowl before the broccoli is added, it looks like something quite light was blitzed. So my bet is that the cream and garlic was blitzed to make the white sauce. For the red, my guess would be the boiled chilli was also done this way (perhaps with a little of the water in which it was cooked). Both were then returned to the pots to reduce/thicken.

[@merlin51h84]

My thoughts exactly. Was annoyed that he didn't show how the garlic and chilli sauces were made. Apparently a trade secret, but your comment is most likely close to the mark. It's a lot of work, guess that's why they'd probably charge you 40 Euro for a plate of that pasta. Looks great though.

Hey Aden we need subtitles man

[@johnperri8459]

We start with milk and garlic, and bring it to a boil, which we will use to make our cream. Second step, we take our peperoncini and we clean them, removing all the seeds. From there, we boil them for 15 -20 minutes, more or less, the same amount of time for our garlic cream. In the meantime, we make our cream of broccoli, using broccoli that’s been boiled for 5 minutes. We blend it (with olive oil) until it arrives at this consistency. And now we prepare our plate. They are called xxx, our particular shape of pasta, and we go with 9 minutes of cooking time. Once they (peperoncini) are cooked, they are used as the base for out peperoncino sauce. And here we have our garlic cream. Now, we start to prepare with a couple spoons of broccoli cream and we add a small drop of broth to thin the sauce. Now I add salt and pepper to adjust / make sure (the broccoli sauce) is just right. We reheat our sauces (drizzles them atop the pasta) Final touch, to add a bit of texture / crunch, we add the broccoli florets fried in oil and adjusted with salt and pepper, until nice and crunchy (adds them atop the pasta). Ok

What is in that large pot? It was translated as BROTH but looks like water! I doubt it is pasta water. He, like all great chefs keeps his work surfaces very neat & clean and yet, he's hanging the ladle above that pot since he uses the substance frequently...however, no chef I know would hang a ladle like that if it were truly a broth. That ladle would be considered used and soiled! If it is broth, I do hope it's chicken...and that didn't make it smoother, it made it THINNER! An interesting concoction, to be sure!

[@jrthiker9908]

It's probably just boiling water or veggie stock, not meat stock. Notice he undercooks the thicker pasta by a few minutes, that's why he checked it by cutting a piece of pasta on the cutting board, to see that it was properly very al dente. Then finished cooking in the pan with the crema to thicken the sauce (the mantecare) and absorb the flavor into the pasta. The pasta will still give off a lot of starch at that point so you don't need the starchy pasta water which would be too much thickening. When "crema di-" sauces are made in Italy, it's literally just the pureed veggie with olive oil. No cream or butter or meat broth, you can usually count on them being mostly vegan, if no cheese is added. This sort of sauce for pasta has become very popular in the last 10 or so years and is very healthy and light. In the centro and sud regions you see a lot of crema di zucchine pasta dishes in the summer season. Peas (piselli), carrots, and fava beans also make great crema sauces.

I don't know how he exactly did. I suggest to try to add half boiled potato and squeeze it until melt with milk

its cream and garlic, blended and then boiled again untill thickened
