    List of Ingredients




    6 ounces cavatelli or rotelle pasta (spirals)
    1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
    4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
    2 cups broccoli florets
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
    Freshly cracked black pepper

    Recipe



    In large pot of boiling water, cook pasta 7-9 minutes, until tender. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water, and place in large serving bowl; keep warm. Place large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 30 seconds; add oil and heat 30 seconds more. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add broccoli; cook 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Add broccoli mixture, basil and salt to pasta; toss, adding just enough of the reserved pasta water to moisten. Top evenly with cheese and pepper.
