Hello! Finally making it around here to share this 20 Minute Parmesan Pasta with Broccoli<\/strong>. I know, I’m falling behind on my new recipe schedule this week. But this dish is worth the wait. Much like my Creamy Broccoli & Penne Pasta<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/strong>, it’s a crowd pleaser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been focused on updating some new photos on a few old recipes that’s been long over due. Then the more you look, the more you see. It’s kind of like cleaning your house. It all starts with wiping door handle and then eight hours later you’re still at it…hahaha! I’m sure we’ve all been there. Am I right?<\/p>\n\n\n

So, as much as I’ve been trying to get these new recipes out this week, I’ve been “house cleaning”, so so speak. I’ve had to tell myself that there’s no way in the world I can redo the entire first years of the Blog and good enough will have to be good enough. But I’ll keep at it and eventually, maybe just maybe, I’ll get it done. Or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, today, I’m bringing you this quick easy and delicious pasta dish. At our place, we love pasta dishes. Pasta goes on our dinner table once every single week. And a favourite is always creamy pasta dishes. And if you haven’t checked out my One Pot Creamy Chicken Pasta dish<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/strong>, you’ll love that one too! Also, my kids lobe the Bowtie Pasta & Broccoli Bake<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Ingredients<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Cut The Broccoli Really Small<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this dish, you really want to cut the broccoli small. These are really small florets. After you cut them, put them in a colander and blanche them by pouring over boiling water and then cold water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY ARE WE BLANCHING THE BROCCOLI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the simple answer for this recipe is that it reduces the cooking time as well as helps keep the broccoli crisper in the the grand finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make The Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a super easy but deliciously creamy sauce. Remember, the full recipe is at the bottom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sauce just takes minutes to put together and you’re gonna want to try it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You literally just add the olive oil to the pan with the garlic and the herbs. Stir it for a minute and the add the flour to make a paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Sauce will Bubble up Like This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s going to quickly bubble up like this, then you add all the stock and the cream. Start whisking until it’s smooth. Bring it to a simmer and it will start to thicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Add The Broccoli And Uncooked Pasta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What’s great about this dish, is we are adding the uncooked pasta to the sauce. Yes! So toss in the pasta and the broccoli, Give it a quick stir, reduce heat to medium low and cover it for 12 – 15 minutes. Easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE<\/strong>: Through this cooking process, you will want to stir it a couple of times to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I use Other Types of Pasta For this Dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you absolutely can. I make pasta at least once a week and I use whatever I have in the cupboards. So just because you see spirals in the picture, doesn’t mean you can’t use something else. Penne, spaghetti and tagliatelle would all work great as well. <\/p>\n\n\n
