PASTA BAKE RECIPE | Pasta al Forno | Baked Pasta

A twist on tradition, this pasta bake is as cheesy as it should be but with a little more green and a lot more bite! Broccoli and sausage mince combine to make this Andrea Bocelli inspired dish and prove to be the perfect combination with just the right amount of mozzarella and tasting just as original as his latest album, "Cinema" sounds! Watch and listen to, his beautiful song which features a unique collaboration with Ariana Grande "E piu ti Penso" Music Video: http://bit.ly/newbocellisong Subscribe to Andrea Bocelli youtube channel: http://bit.ly/andreabocellivevo CREAMY PASTA BAKE | BAKED PASTA WITH SAUSAGES AND BROCCOLI INGREDIENTS FOR THE PASTA: 3-4 Italian pork sausages with fennel 1 packet (500g) of Rigatoni pasta 2 medium size broccoli heads Extra virgin olive oil Small sprig of rosemary Fresh mozzarella (cut into cubes) Parmesan cheese INGREDIENTS FOR THE BECHAMEL SAUCE: 50g butter 50g plain flour 500ml milk UTENSILS: 1 x large saucepan 1 x 5L deep pot Wooden spoon Whisk Hand grater Rectangular baking tray METHOD: 1. Peel the skin off the sausages and break down the mince into small balls. 2. Cut the broccoli into small pieces (stalks too) and boil them for around 15 min. 3. Melt 50g of butter in a pan and add 50g flour then whisk well to ensure you minimise lumps. 4. Using up to 500ml of milk begin to stir in a small amount at a time over heat. 5. Add a sprinkle of nutmeg and keep whisking and adding milk until it becomes creamy. Leave to the side. 6. Put a fry pan on the stove at a medium heat. Add a sprig of rosemary and using a wooden spoon, mix it through the oil and around the pan so it infuses. 7. Remove the rosemary and then add the broccoli, letting them sauté until they become really soft and squash them down with a wooden spoon. Add the mini sausage balls and make sure they brown well and cook through. 8. In the meantime, bring 5L of water to the boil and add a good pinch of rock salt before finally adding the pasta. 9. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the recommended time so it is still al dente (it will continue to cook in the oven) and then strain the water out. 10. Using the deep pot you cooked the pasta in, add some broccoli and sausage mix then add a few layers of pasta, another generous amount of the broccoli and repeat until you finish both. Mix well. 11. Add some béchamel through and mix together so there are no big lumps. 12. Spoon out the pasta mixture onto a baking tray creating a layer. Add some béchamel sauce through the middle along with cubes of mozzarella. 13. Create another layer and once again add béchamel and mozzarella. Grate fresh parmesan over the top, smothering the pasta. This will crisp up the sides once in the oven and melt through the middle. 14. Cook it in the oven for minutes at 220 degrees celsius. ====================================================== 📺SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL (IT’S FREEEEEE ;-) http://bit.ly/SubscribeToMyYOUTUBEchannel Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcsSowAamCLJv-xeF9geXoA/join 🕴Here is the link to Buy my Merch (and the No Pineapple on Pizza T-shirt): https://www.vincenzosplatestore.com/ 📖Share it with your FOODIE friends on FACEBOOK 🍝Check out my website to get more recipes http://vincenzosplate.com/ 🌍Join my Small Group Private Italian Tour and discover the secret gems of Italy with me.
