    Mint: a plant rich in essential oils and beneficial properties for our body.
    Today we propose a healthy, cheap and quick dish!

    Ingredients for 4 people
    • 400g of wholemeal pappardelle
    • 60 fresh mint leaves
    • Half a red Tropea onion or shallot
    • 2 teaspoons chili powder
    • 2 lemons
    • 4 tablespoons of "00" flour
    • 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
    • Extra virgin olive oil to taste
    • Salt to taste
    Preparation

    Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, wash the mint leaves and finely chop the onion.

    Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add the whole mint and 2 ladles of water, and cook for a few minutes over high heat.

    Once the water in the pot has reached boiling point, add the pappardelle and cook for 7 minutes.

    Meanwhile, the water in the pan with the mint will have evaporated, so add another ladle and let it "boil" for 2 minutes.

    Blend everything in a tall container, together with a ladle of water and the flour, until it becomes a cream (if it is very liquid, add more flour; if it is very thick, add some water).

    As soon as the "mint cream" is ready, add it to the pan, drain the pasta and stir for 2 minutes.

    Meanwhile, separately, toast the breadcrumbs in a grease-free pan.

    Serve with a generous squeeze of lemon and a spoonful of crispy breadcrumbs.

    Enjoy your meal!
