Love and Broccoli
“Love and Broccoli” is a comforting embrace in a bowl—tender pasta, rich stock, and the gentle bite of broccoli all laced with garlic, Parmigiana, and a spark of chile. It’s rustic yet refined, the kind of dish that feels both nourishing and a little bit romantic.

- 2 1/2 cups Parmigiana cheese (Grated)
- 5 pounds rigatoni pasta (Cooked)

- 10 medium head of broccoli (cut into small bite size pieces)
- 10 white onion (chopped)

Directions
- Sauté your Onion, Garlic and Chile flake in your olive oil until translucent and starts to be some Golden.
- Add your chopped Broccoli and give it stir and cook about two minutes (better with a lid on)
- Add your Chicken stock and bring it to a boil then back down to a simmer only for about two minutes. (You don’t want your Broccoli to get mushy)
- Add your Cooked Pasta and Parmigiana cheese and let it sit for a few minutes before you serve.
- This is a presant style Italian pasta dish that is so cost effective and easy to achieve. It’s for sure a family favorite that even makes for great left overs.
- I suggest serving along side some roasted chicken or fish. But also can be the star of your dinner on its own.
- You can also add shrimp to the dish at the point when the Chicken stock comes to the boil. It’s fabulous with shrimp.
