Serves
1 large salad to share
375g pack Latina™ Fresh Ricotta and Spinach Agnolotti
100g soft blue cheese, crumbled gently
2 pears, sliced finely
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
100g rocket leaves
1. Add Latina agnolotti to large saucepan of boiling water.
Return to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
2. Combine drained pasta and half the crumbled cheese in large bowl, stirring gently to coat agnolotti with just-melting cheese. (If preparing in advance, don’t add the cheese until just before serving).
3. In another bowl, coat pears in lemon juice to reduce browning and add flavour.
4. When agnolotti mixture has cooled slightly, add pear slices, remaining cheese and rocket; mix gently to combine.
Corella pears, with their pretty red colouring and sweet flavour are perfect for use in this recipe. Try this salad with barbecued steak or chicken.
