Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 500 gram Pasta screws or similar
  • 1 package Bacon diced
  • 1 bunch Asparagus green
  • 0.5 pcs. Broccoli
  • 50 gram Pine Nuts
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 0.5 l Whipping Cream
  • 4 pcs. Pasteurized egg yolks 2 containers
  • 1 pcs. Mozzarella Chees fresh, in a bag
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
  • Toast the pine nuts to a golden color on a dry pan - be careful not to burn them. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  • Fry the bacon cubes to a golden color in the same pan, remove them and let them drain on absorbent paper.
  • Cut the asparagus into smaller pieces and separate the broccoli into florets. Place the vegetables in a sieve and pour boiling water from the kettle over them. Let them drain well.
  • Mix egg yolks, cream, and pressed garlic in a pot and turn on the heat. Warm the sauce while constantly stirring until it thickens - do NOT let it boil! - and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the cooked pasta, vegetables, bacon, and pine nuts in a greased, ovenproof dish. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the dish's contents and crumble the fresh mozzarella on top.
  • Bake the dish in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes until the cheese is gratinated and golden.
  • Serve with a good, mixed salad.

Notes

Tip: you can vary the recipe by using other vegetables, such as cauliflower, leeks, or fresh spinach, and you can omit the meat to make it a vegetarian dish.
