Spigarello is an Italian heirloom variety of broccoli, similar to kale. It has a ‘meatier’ texture meaning that it doesn’t just disappear into complete mush when cooked and rather acts as a vessel in soaking up all the saucey sausagey goodness of this orecchiette.Like most brassica vegetables, it’s an excellent source of vitamin A, C, E and K which are crucial in wound healing and overall skin health. It’s also rich in minerals calcium and potassium which assist in the formation of strong bones and skeletal muscle tissue.To cut through the fattiness of the sausage meat, I like to add a little lift of acidity in the form of white wine, tomato passata, loads of lemon and just a little Calabrian chilli for kick.If you can’t find yourself a spigarello, it’s all good because kale or cavolo nero Orecchiette Recipes, Vegetarian Tart, Bread Crumbs Recipe, Quick Pasta Dishes, Quick Pasta, Warm Salad, Broccoli Pasta, Grilled Lamb, Cold Pasta Salad

Eggplant Conchiglia with Tahini & Dukkah - Brooke Kelly Nutrition
This is my little twist on ‘Pasta Alla Norma' - Conchiglia is tossed through a tender and juicy Sicilian eggplant sauce with grated parmigiano and a little pasta water until glossy, then served straight from the pan and finished with lashings of tahini, dukkah, extra virgin olive oil and fresh parsley. The meatiness of the eggplant gives ragu vibes without the meat or hours of cooking making it a great dish for the vegetarian folk!

Green Chicken Minestrone - Brooke Kelly Nutrition
As you may have guessed, I’m a bit of a soup enthusiast. One of my favourite pastimes is getting creative with whatever ingredients I have left in the fridge and turning them into a variety of soup combinations.
