Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Cavatelli

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the cavatelli pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and broccoli florets, cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the cream sauce

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine pasta and sauce

    Add the cooked cavatelli to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic cream sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
