This cavatelli and broccoli dish is a quick meal to make. Serve with garlic bread.
PREPARATION TIME
Ingredients
3 heads fresh broccoli, cut into florets
1 ½ pounds cavatelli pasta
½ cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook broccoli in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove broccoli to a large bowl and set aside.
Season boiling water in the same pot with salt. Cook cavatelli in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic in hot oil until lightly golden, being careful not to burn it. Add broccoli; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet crisp to the bite, about 10 minutes.
Add cooked cavatelli to the skillet; toss well with broccoli mixture until warmed through. Season with salt and hot pepper flakes. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
