BROCCOLI PASTA



Broccoli Pasta image

Believe it or not, the star behind this 5-ingredient supper is overcooked broccoli! We over-steam it here to give the broccoli a delicate and creamy texture, making it perfect for mashing, mixing with pasta water and tossing with pasta.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch broccoli (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into large florets
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces spaghetti
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Set up a steamer basket in a 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water to come up to the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets to the basket, cover and cook until the broccoli is soft and nearly falling apart but still holds its shape, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and gently toss; season with salt and pepper, then mash.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to label directions, then reserve 1 cup cooking water and drain.
  • In a large skillet, cook the garlic in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil for 30 seconds. Add the mashed broccoli, the Parmesan and half of the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring, until saucy. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with the spaghetti, adding more cooking water as needed.

It's saucy without using tons of oil, and there's loads of sub options. Quick and utterly scrumptious - loaded with tons of broccoli!

This recipe serves 2, so feel free to double or triple it to feed your family. Serve as a main dish (as they do) with a Pasta House Salad on the side! It also makes a nice side dish to grilled chicken.
