A delightful Italian dish featuring mafaldine pasta in a creamy lemon sauce with vibrant broccoli.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb Mafaldine pasta (or any pasta you prefer)
  • 3 tbsp salty butter
  • 1.5 cups broccoli (super finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (finely diced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 lemon (zest)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 lemon (juice)
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Start pasta in boiling salted water and cook al dente – being sure to save some pasta water to the side after straining.
  2. Add butter to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and let it melt.
  3. Add broccoli and flaky salt and cook down for 1 minute.
  4. Next add in the garlic and cook for another minute until soft and fragrant.
  5. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese and stir.
  6. Turn the heat to low and let the sauce simmer and reduce until the pasta is ready.
  7. Add al dente pasta and the juice from half a lemon, then stir.
  8. Cook for one more minute over low heat as the pasta finishes cooking in the sauce.
  9. If it’s dry, stir in a little reserved pasta water (about 2 tbsp at a time) until the sauce is silky.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Always reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.
