Gary Rhodes' Broccoli, Celery and Cheese Linguine

Gary has been working with Campbell's to create the Campbell’s Capsule Cupboard. He said, "The Campbell’s Capsule Cupboard is offering a solution to people who don’t know many recipes or want inspiration for new meals.

"The idea is that 12 simple cupboard ingredients plus one of the Campbell’s Condensed Soups range can make a broad selection of tasty and easy recipes.

"Planning in advance for your evening or lunchtime meals is not always possible. The Campbell’s Capsule Cupboard encourages people to use what they have in their cupboards to create delicious meals.  The Campbell’s Condensed Soup range provides an excellent foundation for sauces, pies and family favourites like spaghetti bolognaise."

Gary Rhodes' Broccoli, Celery and Cheese Linguine

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1 bunch of broccoli, divided into florets

1 onion, very finely chopped

1 tbsp of olive oil

Knob of butter

200g dried linguine pasta

1 295g can Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Celery Soup

100g blue cheese, broken into nuggets (can be substituted for another cheese)

Splash or two of milk, optional

Salt and pepper

Method:

-          Boil the linguine in lightly salted water, following the instructions on the packet

-          Meanwhile, soften the chopped onion in a trickle of olive oil. Stir the Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Celery Soup into the onions and simmer. If you would prefer a looser consistency, simply add a splash or two of milk or water

-          Cook the broccoli in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain carefully in a colander.

-          Add a nugget or two of blue cheese to the soup, allowing it to melt and enrich the celery flavor

-          Stir the pasta into the celery sauce, along with a few of the broccoli florets. Season with a twist of pepper and a pinch of salt, if needed

-          Divide the pasta between 2 large bowls scattering the remaining broccoli florets and blue cheese nuggets over each

-          Drizzle a little olive oil over each to finish and this is now ready to serve
