My husband usually eats reheated dinners, as he gets home too late to eat with me and the girls. Last night he really enjoyed this dish. If it's reheated and still really tastes good then it's a keeper!
Penne and Broccoli
8 ounces penne, uncooked
1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
grated Parmesan cheese (or your favorite grated cheese...I used up various cheeses in my house including Grana Padano and a Pecorino Romano/Reggiano blend)
heavy cream, about 1/2 cup
Cook penne in salted boiling water until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, sautee the garlic in olive oil but don't let it get browned. Before you drain the pasta, add the broccoli florets to the cooking pasta and cook for about 2 minutes. drain pasta/broccoli and add to garlic in sautee pan. Add heavy cream in small amounts until pasta and broccoli is coated but not swimming in the cream. Add cheese to taste (at least 1/2 cup to start). Toss until heated through and season with black pepper, red pepper flakes and salt to taste. If the cheese is salty be careful not too add too much salt. top with more grated cheese and serve.
makes 4 servings.
