Broccoli With Rigatoni

By amaliana

Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bunch broccoli, separated into florets(reserve stems for another use)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped
• 1 pound rigatoni
• fresh parsley, chopped
• pepper
• grated cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat oil and butter and gently brown the garlic. Add broccoli and stir gently until pan gets very hot. Add chicken broth, cover, and simmer just until broccoli is al dente.
Add half the fresh basil and the drained hot rigatoni, cooked al dente, to the skillet and mix thoroughly. Put on a hot serving dish and sprinkle with parsley, pepper, grated cheese, and remaining basil.
Fabulous! Serve with a tossed green salad.

I also like fusilli for this dish just as well.
