CUNETTO'S SPAGHETTI CON BROCCOLI (ACTUAL RECIPE)



Cunetto's Spaghetti Con Broccoli (Actual Recipe) image

This is the famous dish from Cunetto House of Pasta on "The Hill" in St. Louis. Recipe published in the Riverfront Times' Recipes 1997. This is not the same as the Pasta House version. . .this is a white sauce, not a pink one! This recipe is fast enough for a mid-week meal, but fancy enough to serve at a dinner party! Feel free to lighten it up a bit with light margarine and fat-free half and half (I have done it many a time with great results).
