Equipment

  • chef's knife
  • saucepan
  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz uncooked pasta (e.g., fusilli, whole wheat)
  • 1 broccoli
  • 1 package Boursin cheese (garlic & fine herbs)
  • 1 package halloumi cheese
  • 1 lemon
  • pine nuts (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta in slightly salted water, according to the instructions on the package.
  • Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into small florets and cook for 5 minutes (save yourself some dishes and just add them to the pasta-pan!)
  • Cut the halloumi into small cubes and fry on high heat. Sometimes, a lot of liquid is released from the cheese; drain this off. Otherwise, the halloumi will rather cook instead of fry nicely golden brown on all sides.
  • Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until golden brown. Shake frequently, as they burn quickly.
  • Drain the pasta and broccoli and add the Boursin cheese to the pan. Because of the heat, the cream cheese will melt. Stir well so the pasta is lightly coated with cream cheese. Also, stir the halloumi cubes into the pasta.
  • Garnish the Boursin pasta with lemon zest and pine nuts.
