Pasta Con Broccoli Recipe

Hello all!

I haven’t posted a recipe in a long time, and I’ve been meaning to. The other night I made Pasta Con Broccoli for the second time. It was even more delicious than the first time! I found the recipe online and I haven’t been more happy with a recipe than I am with this one. It tastes just like Pasta House’s in my opinion!

(I’m sorry my food pictures aren’t the BEST, but in time I do plan to get better with it. The lighting, and not having my own place completely throws me off, so sorry in advance!)

What you will need:

• 1 lb box uncooked large shell pasta
• 2 cups cream (heavy or whatever you find in the store)
• 2-4 tbsps of butter ( I used 4)
• 2 tsps minced garlic
• 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
• 1 head of broccoli, chopped
• 8 oz. sliced fresh button mushrooms
• salt and pepper
• fresh grated parmesan cheese ( I used shredded parm cheese)

 

Basically, you cook the pasta until it’s halfway done. I cooked mine for 6 minutes then drained it and put it back into the pot. Add the cream, butter, garlic, tomato sauce, broccoli, salt and pepper. Bring that to a hard boil.

When the noodles are fully cooked and the sauce starts to thicken up, add the mushrooms and stir to combine.

Remove it from the heat, and add the cheese. Toss and serve. VOILA, and amazingly delicious meal!

I would eat this every single day… If I wanted to gain weight. 😛 I’m trying to be good and get healthier so when I make this it will be on a cheat day, and like a luxury to me. Lol.

This recipe deserves more than 2 thumbs up! Give it a try, and let me know what you think!! 🙂

I hope everyone has had / is having a wonderful weekend!
