How to Make Angel Hair Fresca
- Bring 4 cups of salted water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
- Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta to the boiling water.
- Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 cup of broccoli florets to the pot and continue boiling for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and broccoli are tender-crisp.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli thoroughly, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- While still hot, add 2 tablespoons of butter to a large saucepan. Let the residual heat melt the butter completely.
