Pasta alla Lavender and Montasio

Serves: 4


I’ve always wanted to try lavender in my cooking and adding it to this pasta dish with montasio cheese is a good pairing. Using whole wheat pasta helps make this a mind smart dish.

1 tbsp minced garlic

½ cup chopped ham

1 ½ cup cream

½ tsp lavender flower

2 cup shredded Friulano (Montasio) cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Red pepper flakes (optional)
