“Learn Something New Every Day”

  • Using Ctrl+Shift+V or Paste Special (no formatting) will use the default appearance and link colors without the highlights that you prefer. This is the preferred method when sending email to your Project, Leaders, Mediators, and the Team as your formatting will not be included. The colors that help you see can actually be very hard for others to read. By using no formatting in the email, the formatting the receiver prefers will apply and be easier for them to read.

A Recipe from November’s Cooking Board

Rigatoni in Pine Nut and Gorganzola Sauce

225g Rigatoni or Fusilli

Salt to taste

For the sauce:

100g Cauliflower florets

100g Broccoli Florets

55g Pine Nuts

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 Red Onion, finely chopped

1 tsp Fresh Thyme, finely chopped

1/4-1/2 tsp Freshly ground Black Pepper

100g Gorgonzola Cheese, Cubed

Serves 2-4

Cook Pasta in boiling salted water for about 12 mins.

Steam, Cauliflower and Broccoli for 7-8 minutes, until just tender.

Roast the pine nuts by laying on kitchen foil under a warm grill.

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium flame and saute onion until clear and tender. Add thyme, pepper and pinch of salt and stir.

Add steamed veg, roasted pine nuts and cheese, remove from heat and stir well.

Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce.

You can also use Spinach as an alternative. We use a milder blue cheese Blacksticks Blue or Shropshire Blue as we prefer the flavour.

You could use either vegetable alone.
