CREAMY BROCCOLI PASTA

This creamy broccoli pasta recipe comes together fast and makes a delicious and comforting meatless meal! It's great for a quick and easy yet totally satisfying weeknight dinner.

Provided by Natasha Bull

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces uncooked pasta (I used penne)
3 heaping cups broccoli (cut into small florets)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tablespoon flour
1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup heavy/whipping cream
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Boil a large, salted pot of water. Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. When the pasta is 2-3 minutes away from being done, you will add the broccoli to the water.
  • Add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat, and once it's melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • To the skillet, add in the garlic, broth, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Let it bubble for a minute or so.
  • Whisk in the cream and let it cook for a few minutes until it's thickened up to your liking, then stir in the parmesan cheese and take the pan off the heat.
  • Drain the pasta and broccoli and add it to the skillet. If the sauce has thickened up too much, add a small splash of the pasta water prior to draining it. Season the pasta with salt & pepper (I'm generous with both) as needed and serve immediately with extra parmesan grated on top if desired.

SICILIAN PASTA AND BROCCOLI



Sicilian Pasta and Broccoli image

This is a simple dish my grandmother made for me when I was a child. Now I make it for my daughter, Xea, and she loves it. As the broccoli takes on a toasty brown color, it develops a delicious nutty flavor that even picky kids will like.

Provided by Antonia Lofaso

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup olive oil, or more if needed
2 large heads broccoli, cut in 1-inch florets (about 6 cups)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for salting the pasta water
8 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 pound penne rigate (Penne rigate is my favorite because the ridges give it more texture.)
1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the water for your pasta while you prepare the broccoli.
  • In a shallow, 10-inch saute pot, heat the 1 cup olive oil over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Add the broccoli to the oil and season it with salt. Saute the broccoli for about 4 minutes, or until it takes on a toasty color. The broccoli will absorb a lot of the oil, so if you find your pot getting dry, just add a little more oil to it. Throw in the garlic and cook for about another minute, until it's slightly brown. Don't burn the garlic! Take the broccoli off the heat and set it aside.
  • Prepare the penne according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and toss it in the pot with the broccoli, garlic, and olive oil. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.
  • Toss in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stir, and garnish with the parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the soup.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. You want it to be tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality pasta. This will also make a difference in the overall flavor of the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the soup with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. This will add a nice finishing touch.

Conclusion:

This broccoli pasta and lemon soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli. The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the pasta and broccoli add a nice texture. The lemon adds a bright and refreshing flavor that makes this soup a real winner.
