  • 7 ounces Talluto’s fresh fusilli
  • 1 organic leek
  • 1 bunch organic broccoli leaves or other leafy greens (about ¾ pound)

  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Sun Basket smoky spice blend (onion powder - granulated garlic - sweet smoked paprika)
Ingredient IQ
Greek yogurt isn’t actually known as “Greek” in Greece because it’s not from that country alone. It’s made throughout the Middle East by draining off the watery whey from plain yogurt until the yogurt thickens. The longer the yogurt is drained, the thicker it becomes.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the fusilli

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Separate the fusilli so the noodles don’t clump together during cooking. Add the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fusilli, reserving ¼ cup [½ cup] pasta cooking water. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.

2

Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the dish

  • Trim the root end from the leek; cut the leek in half lengthwise, then crosswise into thin half-moons. Rinse well.
  • Remove any coarse stems from the broccoli leaves; cut the leaves crosswise into ½-inch-wide strips.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cheddar, yogurt, and mustards.
In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the leek, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broccoli leaves (the leaves in batches if needed) and smoky spice blend and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are wilted and the spice blend is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar mixture, fusilli, and reserved pasta cooking water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fusilli to individual bowls and serve.
