One pot creamy broccoli pasta (via abeautifulmess.com) It’s official. I’m addicted to one pot pastas. It’s easy. It’s pasta. Dinner’s ready so quick. It’s pasta. Easy to clean up after. It’s pasta.

Did I mention it’s pasta? Guys, I LOVE PASTA!

One pot creamy broccoli pasta (via abeautifulmess.com) If you haven’t heard, one pot pasta is a THING. Type that into Pinterest and you’ll get about 1.5 million results (OK maybe not quite that many, but a lot). I first got hooked a few years ago when I tried out this one. And I’ve been into it ever since. In fact, if you like red wine (who doesn’t?!), you should check this one out too while you’re at it.

9 oz. fettuccine (I used Bertolli—the fresh kind found in the refrigerated section)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups seafood stock
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup chopped broccoli florets
salt + pepper to taste
chopped parsley for garnish

First, sauté the garlic in the butter and olive oil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Then add the noodles, stock, milk and broccoli. Bring to boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer for 8-9 minutes. Remove the lid and allow to cook for another 8-9 minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated/absorbed into the noodles and broccoli. Toss in the cheese during this last 8-9 minutes of cooking.

You could easily use a dry pasta instead, but you may need to cook the dish covered for an additional 2-3 minutes as fresh pasta cooks a little faster than dry.
