Preparation

How to prepare Pasta with broccoli

To make pasta with broccoli, start by removing the broccoli florets from the middle stalk 1; cut them in half if they are very big. Rinse them under running water. Bring some salted water to the boil in a saucepan 2 and add the broccoli as soon as the water starts to boil 3.

Cook for around ten minutes 4. In the meantime, brown a garlic clove in a drizzle of oil, in a deep pan 5. Drain the broccoli and place in a saucepan, save the cooking water for later 6.

Leave a few whole florets to one side 7, which you will then add to the finished pasta dish. Add a little water to the broccoli 8. Add salt and pepper, then cook on a medium-low flame for around 20 minutes, or at least until cooked and a cream starts to form. Add some more water if necessary. Once cooked, remove the garlic clove 9.

Cook the troccoli until firm to the bite in the same water used to boil the broccoli: bring the water back to the boil 10 and follow cooking times indicated on the package. Add the broccoli left to one side to the sauce 11. Drain the pasta and add to the broccoli cream 12.

Add a ladle of cooking water, depending on how creamy the sauce is 13. Sauté the pasta with the broccoli for a few moments 14 and serve nice and hot 15; add pepper to taste. Your pasta with broccoli is ready, buon appetito.
