A type of pasta traditionally paired with turnip greens is orecchiette. This dish, known as "orecchiette with turnip greens," is typical of Apulian cuisine and involves the use of orecchiette, a short pasta that has the shape of small ears, perfect for holding the turnip greens-based sauce. However, other short pasta shapes such as fusilli or rigatoni can also be used for a similar dish.
Turnip green cream can be used in various ways in the kitchen. Here are some ideas:
Pasta seasoning. Turnip green cream can be used as a sauce for pasta. Just cook the pasta al dente and mix it with the cream, adding a little extra virgin olive oil and, if you like, a sprinkling of chilli pepper and grated pecorino cheese.
Base for bruschetta. You can spread the turnip greens cream on slices of toasted bread to create tasty bruschetta. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and maybe some anchovies for an extra touch of flavor.
Filling for ravioli. Turnip green cream can be used as a filling for ravioli or other types of filled pasta. Mix it with ricotta or goat cheese for a creamier texture and balanced flavor.
Accompaniment for meat or fish. Turnip green cream can also serve as an accompanying sauce for meat or fish dishes. It is particularly delicious with white meats such as chicken or delicately flavored fish.
Pizza or focaccia. Add turnip green cream as a topping for pizza or focaccia, along with other ingredients such as mozzarella, sausage or olives.
These are just some of the many possibilities for using turnip greens cream in the kitchen!
