Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound(s) linguine, cooked - drained as directed on package
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
2 tablespoon(s) butter
1 bunch(es) broccoli, cut into flourets - i used 3 small heads, equivalent to one large
3 - 4 clove(s) garlic, chopped
8 - 10 - fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch(es) green onions, sliced
1 1/2 cup(s) heavy cream
1/4 - 1/3 cup(s) grated parmesan
1 - 1 1/2 cup(s) shredded provolone cheese
2 - 3 tablespoon(s) fresh parsley, chopped - optional...i didn't use this time
1/2 - 1 teaspoon(s) salt & fresh ground black pepper - or to taste

Steps:

Boil your pasta, drain
While Pasta is cooking, add butter and oil to a large skillet. Saute the broccoli, onions, garlic and mushrooms, just until tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the cream once veggies are tender. Simmer for a few minutes or until the cream starts to thicken some.
Add the cheeses, salt,pepper and fresh parsley if using. Stir until the cheese is completely melted.
Drain linguine and toss with sauce. I don't rinse pasta, so the sauce adheres a bit better.
Serve immediately. Sprinkle with some parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. I served with a tossed salad and some crusty Italian bread.
