Cook the Fettuccine
In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Add Broccoli
In the last 3 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Continue to cook until the broccoli is tender and the pasta is cooked through.
