Pasta Con Broccoli

I made this recipe nearly as written. I did omit the mushrooms to avoid a revolt by my family and used frozen broccoli. I tripled the recipe to use a full 12 oz box of fettuccine. The end result was a pretty bland pasta dish. With some tweaks it could be pretty good but as is, it was kinda meh.

I loved it! I did spice it up just a touch with cayenne & red pepper flakes, but the butter & cream turned into a delicious creamy sauce. I had to add a little more salt at the end than I was expecting, but with proper seasoning, the sauce was wonderful.

I've made this several times and it always comes out great. One of my favorite Italian dishes! I change it to 6 servings which means you add 3 cups of cream but I use 2 of cream and 1 of half and half. I add in a little more broccoli and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. I think the cheese thickens it. I noticed some of the reviews mentioned it being thin like a soup but with the cheese it's not thin. This is one dish that gets better each time you re-heat it.

A pretty good pasta con broccoli recipe. I opted for Shell macaroni and added 3Tbsp of garlic salt to kick up the taste.

I just made this last night. It was so simple to make and the whole process took only 30 minutes and it was delicious!
