Recipe Spaghetti Ricotta Nuts And Crispy Speck – Gordon Ramsay’s version

In a kitchen mixer we combine the milk, extra virgin olive oil (50 g), a pinch of salt, grated Parmesan cheese and nuts (taking care to leave some for the dish). We operate the blades and whisk until a homogeneous and creamy mixture is obtained.

We cut it into strips speck and in a pan, brown it with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, until it becomes crunchy (4/5 minutes will be enough).

In the meantime, cook the spaghetti in abundant salted water and drain it a few minutes before the time indicated on the pasta package, taking care to keep some cooking water. We transfer the pasta to the pan with the crispy speck. We also combine the walnut cream previously prepared and the ricotta cheese. If necessary, add a little cooking water.

We serve our spaghetti by decorating the plate with walnut kernels, guaranteed WOW effect!

Chickpea Flour Hummus with Olives and Pine Nuts by Gordon Ramsay

A silky smooth, flavourful and healthy hummus that is so easy and fast to make. The secret is to use chickpea flour (also known as gram flour or besan) instead of whole chickpeas. Hummus made with the whole cooked chickpeas is great, but if you want ultra silky, light as air texture, and don’t want to go to all the bother of peeling the skin off chickpeas, then chickpea flour is the answer. The dip will generally keep for up to 5 days in the fridge.

80 g Chickpea flour
550 ml Water
3 Garlic cloves, finely minced
100 g Tahini
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1/2-1 tsp Cumin powder
Dash of hot sauce
1/2 tsp Sea salt
Olive oil
A mix of green and black olives
Pine nuts, toasted
Fresh parsley, chopped
Flatbread and vegetable sticks to serve

In a medium saucepan, mix together the chickpea flour and water until lump free and well-combined. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cook on medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook another 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. Let cool.
Transfer the chickpea paste into the pitcher of your immersion blender. Add the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin and hot sauce. Blend until smooth. Season with salt. If the mixture is too thick, add a little olive oil.
Scrape into a bowl and cover a thin layer of olive oil. Sprinkle some olives, pine nuts and parsley over. Serve with flatbread, crackers or vegetable sticks.

Crisp Sumac Spiced Nuts by Gordon Ramsay

Crisp walnuts and Brazil nuts glazed in spicy cayenne and citrusy, tangy sumac with coconut sugar make great party nibbles or as a topping for the salad, oatmeal or pancakes. Any mix of nuts (cashews, pecans, almonds) will work for this recipe—just be sure to allow them cool completely to ensure a crisp texture before serving or storing. Besides sumac, za’atar, a blend of herbs, salt, sesame seeds, cumin and sumac, would be another wonderful Middle Eastern condiment to spice up the nuts.

1 1/2 tsp Sumac
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tbsp Coconut sugar
1/2 tsp Black salt
1 Large egg white
200 g Walnuts
100 g Brazil nuts

Preheat oven to 150C/300F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. Combine sumac, coconut sugar and black salt in a bowl.
Beat egg white until very foamy. Stir in nuts, combining well. Add in sumac mixture until evenly coated. Spread coated nuts in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake nuts in middle of preheated oven, stirring at half time, until crisp and golden, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from oven, and let cool completely. Break up nut clusters. Store nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
