Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fusilli pasta
2 pounds broccoli, stems removed and heads trimmed into florets
2 pounds broccoli, stems removed and heads trimmed into florets
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
15 to 20 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add salt and then add the pasta. Cook according to the package directions. After 6 minutes, add the broccoli to the pot with the pasta. Once the pasta is al dente, reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over very low heat. Add the garlic and saute just until it begins to sizzle (do not let it brown). Turn the garlic and continue to cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the paprika and season with salt and pepper; stir to arrest the browning. If the garlic appears to be coloring, stir it sooner. Continue to cook until the smaller pieces of garlic become golden.
  • Add the pasta and broccoli to the garlic oil. Toss together until combined. Add the butter and stir to melt. Add the cheese and stir again. Moisten the pasta, if necessary, with the reserved pasta water. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with cheese and serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups broccoli florets (from about 1 large bunch)
3/4 pound fusilli or other corkscrew pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped garlic (about 8 cloves)
3 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, broccoli, and fusilli pasta will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is crisp-tender: Broccoli should still have a slight crunch when you bite into it. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality garlic cream sauce: A good quality garlic cream sauce will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a sauce that is made with fresh garlic and cream.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley: Fresh parsley will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
