Garlic Butter Broccoli Rigatoni
Ingredients
  • 1 pound rigatoni pasta
  • 8 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches its boiling point. Cook rigatoni in this boiling water, occasionally stirring the pasta to ensure even cooking, until it reaches your desired level of doneness, typically taking around 12 minutes. Remove from the water and set aside.
2
In a large cooking vessel, heat olive oil and melted butter over medium-high heat. Sear garlic for 30 seconds before adding broccoli to the pan and continuing to cook until it reaches your desired level of tenderness, usually taking 2 to 3 minutes. Introduce the broth into the pan and cover it; let it simmer until the broccoli is fully cooked, typically taking 3 to 5 minutes.
3
Combine the cooked pasta with the broccoli mixture and toss everything together until well combined. Serve hot, topped with a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
