How to Make Pasta Con Broccoli Lighter Yummy
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound pasta (penne, rotini, or your favorite shape) and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the broccoli. Trim and cut 1 large head of broccoli into florets.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the broccoli.
- Gradually add the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the pasta (about 1-2 minutes).
- Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional).
