Mimosa pasta with passive cooking in the Millenium line by Papillamonella
Today is March 8, and W°pots also wants to honor Women's Day with a truly superb and colorful recipe proposed by Federica - Papillamonella: mimosa pasta (with passive cooking). Its simplicity hides an unexpected goodness and a balance of flavors that is truly top notch, take Papilla's word for it! Let's see how to prepare it together.
INGREDIENTS
- 180 g short pasta
- 70 g unsweetened plain yogurt
- 70 g ricotta
- 1 sachet of saffron
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
- fresh dill or fennel to taste
METHOD
To prepare the mimosa pasta using passive cooking, start by bringing salted water with coarse salt to a boil in the Millenium W°pots pot. Use the pot lid so that the water heats up very quickly.
Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, yogurt, and saffron in a bowl. Mix thoroughly with a fork or spoon until you have a smooth, even cream. Once the water has reached a boil, remove two ladles and set them aside in a bowl (you will need them for the sauce) and add the pasta.
Count 2 minutes from when the water returns to a boil, then remove from the heat, cover with a lid, and let the pasta finish cooking passively. You will need the time indicated on the package, obviously subtracting the initial two minutes (my pasta, for example, needed a total of 8 minutes of cooking, so I continued with passive cooking for another 6 minutes).
Once the pasta has finished cooking, transfer the sauce to a non-stick pan and add the cooking water you set aside earlier. Stir and heat thoroughly, then remove the pasta with a slotted spoon and transfer it directly to the pan with the sauce. Stir well, add the oil and toss the pasta vigorously.
Plate and garnish each dish with a few sprigs of fresh dill, which will give your recipe freshness and an extra kick, as well as making your dish visually similar to the wonderful mimosa flower.
Passive cooking with W°pots
When it comes to passive cooking, the right lid on the right pot really makes a difference in terms of cooking performance. By using a suitable lid and a quality utensil, such as those in the Millenium line, heat will accumulate without dispersion inside the almost hermetically sealed container, allowing you to save on your energy bill.
