3 Cheese Pasta With Broccoli Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 T extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and minced
- 1/2 pound broccoli, flowerettes only
- 1/3 c. whipping cream
- 1/2 pound angel hair pasta
- 1/4 pound Swiss cheese, grated
- 4 T Romano cheese, grated
- 3 T cheese, grated
- Fresh-ground pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Minced parsley for garnish
Directions
- Saute the garlic in the oil till it just begins to brown. Add in the yellow onion and the broccoli flowerettes (i.e., the tops of the spears), and saute till the broccoli is barely tender. Add in the cream and pepper. You may add in salt if you wish.In the meantime, cook the angel hair pasta for just a couple min in salted boiling water. Watch this carefully because the pasta cooks in very little time. Drain the pasta and toss with the three cheeses. Add in the cream and the vegetables. Toss and serve.
- You may wish to garnish this with more cheese on top. Some parsley might be nice as well.
- Serves 3 or possibly 4.
