Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Cavatelli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatelli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Broccoli

    In the same pot, add the broccoli florets to the boiling water during the last 2-3 minutes of the pasta cooking time. Drain the broccoli with the pasta.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the drained cavatelli and broccoli to the skillet. Toss to coat with the garlic oil. If the mixture seems dry, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve immediately.
