Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant color and better flavor than frozen broccoli.
- Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its color and nutrients.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. Pasta that is cooked al dente is still slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a hard cheese like Parmesan or Pecorino Romano for a nutty flavor, or a soft cheese like Fontina or Gruyère for a more creamy flavor.
- Season the dish to taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as red pepper flakes or oregano.
Conclusion:
This easy chicken broccoli pasta is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
