  • 500 ml (2 cups) uncooked penne
  • 30 ml (2 tablespoons) butter
  • 500 g (1 lb) Quebec Milk-Fed Veal strips
  • 250 ml (1 cup) chicken broth
  • 30 ml (2 tablespoons) Dijon mustard

  • 250 ml (1 cup) ricotta cheese
  • Rind from one lemon, grated
  • 45 ml (3 tablespoons) fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
  • In a large saucepan of salted water, cook penne for 10 to 12 minutes or to desired level of tenderness. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat butter on high heat. Cook veal strips for 5 minutes or until the meat is golden. Drain the surplus liquid during cooking if necessary.
  • In a small bowl, mix chicken broth, mustard and lemon juice. Add chicken broth mix to the pan while scraping bottom to remove all particles.
  • Add broccoli. Cover and lower heat to medium. Simmer for 3 minutes or until broccoli is tender but still crisp. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon rind, dill and cooked pasta. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently.
  • Variation: Replace broccoli with an equal quantity of frozen vegetables.
