ABOUT THE RECIPE

Embark on a culinary journey with this Lemon Broth with Pasta, Broccoli, and Peas, topped with Parmesan. This dish is a symphony of flavors, blending lemon juice with the wholesomeness of vegetables and pasta. Perfect for those seeking a meal that’s both nutritious and bursting with flavor, it’s an ideal comfort food for family dinners or a cozy night in.

How to serve:
Serve this vibrant dish hot, allowing the aromatic lemon broth to enhance the tender pasta, broccoli, and peas. The Parmesan cheese adds a creamy, indulgent touch, melting beautifully into the broth. For a perfect presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh herbs. Pair it with a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade to complement the zesty flavors.

How to store:
I don’t recommend making too much of the dish and keeping it in the fridge as the noodles will swell in the soup and it will become too thick.

        COOKING

        1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to a mash. Mix in the coconut oil, agave syrup, egg and vanilla.

        2. Now add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the bowl and mix everything together until a creamy dough forms – do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries but set aside about 1 tablespoon of them for later.

        3. Fill the cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Now bake for 16 minutes. I bake them in two batches of 6 so that the cupcakes have more room to rise.

        4. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Place the cream cheese, yoghurt, agave syrup, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form and a firm cream has formed,

        5. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.

        6. As soon as the cupcakes are at room temperature, the frosting can be spread on top. Warm the remaining blueberries in a small pot or in the microwave until they turn into a sauce. Let it cool and pour the sauce over the cupcakes just before serving.

          COOKING

          1. Place the soft (not liquid) butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer for approx. 3 minutes until creamy. Add the flour and mix until the butter is coated in flour. Then knead with your hands until smooth.

          2. Wrap the dough in a layer of cling film and shape into a square. Place the dough in the freezer for approx. 1 hour.

          3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Now grate half the dough into flakes using a cheese grater. Put the other half back in the freezer.

          4. Spread the flakes evenly in a baking dish. Use very little pressure to spread the flakes in the tin – DO NOT press them down. Now spread the cherry jam evenly over the flakes.

          5. Now take the second half of the dough out of the freezer and grate it into flakes using the cheese grater and spread it evenly over the jam. Again, only spread the flakes with very light fingers and do not press down.

          6. Bake for approx. 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F) or until the shortbread is light golden but not brown. It is best to take them out of the oven when they are lightly golden, as they will bake a little longer anyway. Leave the shortbreads to cool and cut into strips.

          COOKING

          1. For the dough, beat 25g butter with a pinch of salt (approx. 3 minutes) and then add the egg and mix. Now add 100g flour and the quark. Knead everything into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 90 minutes.
