There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Broadbeans and lemon pasta FAIL


1 - Nope, not interesting. I used pesto instead of basil leaves (didn't have any) and still not interesting. The broadbeans were flavorless grainy bits of blandness.

400G ORECCHIETTE
1 TABLESPOON EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL 
2 CLOVES GARLIC, SLICED 
¼ CUP (60ML) LEMON JUICE 
1 TABLESPOON FINELY GRATED LEMON RIND 
½ CUP (125ML) SINGLE (POURING) CREAM 
SEA SALT AND CRACKED BLACK PEPPER 
2.4KG BROAD BEANS, SHELLED, BLANCHED AND PEELED+ 
1 CUP (80G) FINELY GRATED PARMESAN 
2 CUPS BASIL LEAVES

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 10–12 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and rind, cream, reserved water, salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until slightly thickened. 
Add the beans and pasta, stir to combine and cook for a further 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir through the pecorino and basil. Divide the pasta between 4 bowls and serve topped with the extra pecorino. Serves 4.
