Today we had a big Italian lesson.We learnt how to
cook Broccoli Pasta Primavera. Broccoli is an Italian word and Primavera means
spring in Italian. It's a very simple recipe, it's from an Italian man called
Rocco. Lots of us thought we wouldn't like it but we were brave and tried it
and... we LOVED it!!
The ingredients were:
broccoli,
pasta (we used spaghetti),
parmesan,
salt,
pepper and
olive oil.
That's all! We added a secret ingredient...
broccoli flowers from the school garden. We sprinkled them on top at the end
with the parmesan and we used up all the parmesan and the flowers. It was so
delicious!! We've put up the recipe in case you want to try it yourself.
English
Boil some water with a pinch of salt, put the
chopped broccoli in, wait till they're half to way to tender (~5min), then pour
the pasta straight into the same boiling water.
Keep boiling pasta and broccoli till pasta is ready
(and broccoli hopefully are just soft without having fallen apart).
Then get the water out (strain it) and add olive
oil, parmesan and pepper.
Italian
Bolli l'acqua per la pasta in una pentola. Taglia i
broccoli a dadetti, mettili nell'acqua e lascia bolllire finche i broccoli
incominciano a bollire.
Butta la pasta (preferibilmente orecchiette)
nell'acqua bollente co0n i broccoli e lascia bollire finche la pasta ne' al
dente e i broccoli appena teneri.
Scola aggiungi olio d'oliva generosamente,
parmigiano e pepe.
We had a lovely last day. It's been a busy but
really successful term and we've certainly earned our holidays. We spent a
couple of minutes reflecting on the things we really enjoyed this term:
