Ingredients:
8 ounces of pasta (penne, fusilli, or any shape you prefer)
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup pesto sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
Instructions:
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.
- Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- Add the cooked broccoli and garlic to the pot with the pasta.
- Stir in the pesto sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, and a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water. Mix until everything is well combined, and the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top.
- Serve your One-Pot Broccoli Cheese Pesto Pasta hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and hassle-free meal that brings together the goodness of broccoli, the richness of cheese, and the zingy flavors of pesto, all in one pot!
