CAVATELLI PASTA RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling water, blanch broccoli for about 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic until lightly golden, being careful not to burn it. Add the broccoli. Saute, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Broccoli should be tender yet crisp to the bite.
• Meanwhile, cook cavatelli in a large pot of boiling salted water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and place in a large serving bowl. Toss with the broccoli, and season with salt and hot pepper flakes. Serve with parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over a moderate heat.
• Once the oil is hot enough, immediately add the minced garlic. Cook and stir until pale golden.
• Then, add the broccoli, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes or until broccoli florets are cooked. Set aside.
• In a pasta pot, boil salted water and cook the cavatelli. If you're cooking fresh pasta, they should be done in 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the size of the pasta. If you're using dried cavatelli, they may take up to 15 minutes to cook.
• Drain pasta and add them to the saucepan. Toss with the sauce and add grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
• Cook over low heat for about a minute.
• Sprinkle more grated Pecorino Romano cheese on top before serving.
