Ingredients
Prosciutto Chips
- 50g prosciutto loin slices
Mascarpone Spaghetti
- 1 leek, cut in half lengthways and thinly sliced
- 1/2 brown onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup white wine or chicken stock
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
- 250g fresh spaghetti
- 1/2 head cauliflower, florets diced 1-2cm until you have 2 cups worth
- 1/2 bag baby kale leaves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
To Serve
- 2 tablespoons walnut linseed crumble
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Lay prosciutto on prepared tray with a small drizzle of olive oil and bake for about 12 minutes, until crispy. Turn once during cooking. Remove from oven and set aside.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot (with a lid) on medium heat. Cook leek, onion and salt (with the lid on) for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add wine/stock and cook for about 1 minute, until liquid is almost evaporated.
-
Add water and mascarpone and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, add Parmesan and mustard, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
Gently shake spaghetti to separate strands. Add cauliflower and spaghetti to pot of boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water then drain well.
-
Add cooked spaghetti, cauliflower and kale to pot with mascarpone sauce. Mix to combine and add reserved pasta water, ¼ cup at a time, until sauce reaches desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Break prosciutto chips into large shards.
-
To serve, divide mascarpone spaghetti between bowls and sprinkle over walnut linseed crumble. Top with prosciutto chips.
