    We had this for lunch last week, and I packaged up some for a friend. She says it heated up well, which I love knowing, because I can pass that info onto you guys!!!! So you can make dinner and have leftovers for lunch. Winner!!!

    I used broccolini as it was on a great special this week! But you can use normal broccoli for this, it is just as good. You just have to cut the florets up a little so they cook in the time. The goats cheese in this isn't the usual crumbly creamy goats cheese that you buy in a log, this is a firmer goats cheese, with a texture similar to edam. It comes sliced in wedges (usually with a white or green wax rind) If you can't find it then some standard crumbly goats cheese will work well too. Or if you are a goats cheese hater, no cheese or parmesan will be good.

    If you are a chilli fan then add extra, if you aren't then leave it out. Easy 🙂 but something I won't compromise on is the charring of the broccoli, this after all broccoli pasta, so you want the broccoli to be the star! You want it to get some really and black, that sweet and savoury hit is what flavours everything! I use a wok for my sauce as I know I can get it super hot and it will hold all of the broccolini easily.

    Apologies, I am a bit distracted this evening as I put the sheep and the goat into their pen for the night and now they are back on the veranda! I don't know how they escaped, the door is still tied shut, there are no holes in the fence bigger than a coaster and the fence is as tall as me. Even if the goat managed to jump it, no way the sheep did! I am perplexed and a little crazed by it! It has happened before, and I thought perhaps they got through a small gap between the door and the post. But now I put a big slab of stone there, to make sure nothing can push it open. How are the crazy animals escaping!!!!

    Tomorrow night I am planning a stake out. I am going to lock them up for the night and then sit in my car and watch. I have to know!!! It is driving me potty! I am going to sit in my car rather than just on the veranda - because there are mosquitos about at that time of night and I do not want to finish the stake out being eaten alive!

    So whilst I go outside in my pjs and lock them up again I will leave you with my recipe for charred broccoli pasta with chilli and goats cheese.

      Hi Claire! This is such a lovely light meal! I've not met a goat cheese I didn't like, but I can only get soft ones here. There is a market about an hour away that has the most fabulous selection of cheeses, meats a breads! Last time we were there we bought a dozen small chunks of cheese and would have a cheese tasting around 4:00 every afternoon. I can understand how your goat got out, they just can't be contained! But the sheep...maybe the goat taught it a few new tricks!
