PREPARATION METHOD
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it's boiling, add the penne and cook according to the instructions on the package until it's al dente. This should take about 10-12 minutes. When it's ready, drain and set aside.
- While the penne is cooking, prepare the broccoli. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli pieces to the pan with the garlic and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is slightly soft and starting to brown on the edges.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the cream into the pan with the broccoli. Stir well to incorporate the cream and heat through.
- Then add the grated Parmesan cheese to the broccoli and cream mixture. Keep stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is creamy. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy touch.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the cheese is already salty, so be careful not to add too much salt.
- Add the cooked penne to the broccoli and cheese sauce, stirring gently to coat the pasta with the creamy sauce.
- Serve the Quick Penne with Cheese and Broccoli on individual plates, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of freshness.
