A local family restaurant has a dish very similar to this one that has been a favorite for years. My friend and I came up with this recipe when we were unable to find one anywhere, even in Italian cookbooks. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cavatelli pasta |
1 head broccoli, cut into florets |
1/2 cup butter |
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped |
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
3. Place broccoli in a microwave safe dish with about 3 tablespoons of water. Microwave for 3 minutes, or until tender.
4. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and mushrooms until garlic becomes aromatic. Combine with pasta, broccoli and Parmesan cheese; transfer to a 2 quart baking dish.
5. Cover and bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated throughout.
