Penne with Dolcelatte, Spring Greens, and Crunchy Walnut Topping

Serves 2 - 3


Ingredients


-200g penne
-100g chopped spring greens
-100g dolcelatte cheese, chopped into cubes
-100ml double cream
-100g chopped walnuts
-Handful of breadcrumbs
Seasoning


1. Preheat the grill. Spread the breadcrumbs and half the chopped walnuts on a baking tray, and toast for 2 - 3 minutes or until crunchy. Keep warm. 
2. Cook the penne according to packet instructions in a large saucepan. 3-4 minutes before the end, add the spring greens to the pan. Drain, and then return to the pan.
3. Over a gentle heat, add the rest of the ingredients to the pasta and spring greens and stir gently to create a creamy sauce. Season to taste, and serve topped with the crunchy walnuts. 


This makes a quick mid-week meal and is a good way to use up veg box greens. I seem to be getting them every week at the moment, and I am running out of ideas of how to use them! You could also use spinach, or any other blue cheese instead of the dolcelatte.

I have recently discovered Presto Pasta Nights , so I am submitting this recipe for this week's roundup hosted by Pictures of All My Princesses.
