-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb. frozen or fresh cavatelli -- stuffed
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp. butter
1 clove garlic (to 2)
1 (10.5 oz.) pkg. frozen broccoli -- thawed and chopped
salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese -- grated
Risa's additions:
pine nuts -- toasted
extra-virgin olive oil -- for drizzling
Cook cavatelli in 5-6 qt of salted boiling water.
In a saucepan, heat olive oil and butter, add garlic and saute just until brown (do not burn). Discard garlic.
Cook broccoli according to package directions or until barely tender. When pasta is done, drain and empty into large bowl that has been heated by putting very hot water in it and letting it stand for a few minutes.
Toss pasta with olive oil, cooked broccoli, salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Serves 4-6.
