4 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 ounce olive oil |
1 head broccoli or 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen broccoli, chopped very small |
2 cups chicken stock |
1 lb frozen cavatelli |
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, drained |
salt and pepper, to taste |
garlic salt |
2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with |
2 tablespoons water |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Saute garlic in 2 Tbsps butter.
2. Add broccoli and mushrooms; stir fry until al dente.
3. Add broth to cooled broccoli.
4. Simmer on medium to medium low until the following steps are completed.
5. Cook cavatelli as directed on back of package until done .

7. Top with other 2 Tbsps of butter.
