Recipe : Cavatelli with Broccoli

Accented with garlic and fresh basil, this quick pasta dish is delicious.

Makes 4 servings

6 ounces cavatelli or rotelle pasta (spirals)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
Freshly cracked black pepper

In large pot of boiling water, cook pasta 7-9 minutes, until tender. Drain,
reserving 1/4 cup pasta water, and place in large serving bowl; keep warm.
Place large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 30 seconds; add oil and heat
30 seconds more. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds, until
fragrant. Add broccoli; cook 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Add broccoli mixture, basil and salt to pasta; toss, adding just enough of the
reserved pasta water to moisten. Top evenly with cheese and pepper.
