recipe by: Patricia Martinescu @bake.cook.repeat

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces DeLallo Shellbows
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups medium cheddar cheese
  • 1 heaping cup broccoli pieces
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

  • To a large pot, add dry, uncooked pasta, butter, garlic, olive oil, chicken broth and water.
  • Halfway through cooking, add the broccoli pieces. Continue boiling until most of the broth is absorbed, not all. We need some for our sauce! If using frozen broccoli, add in the last few minutes of cooking after the cheese is melted.
  • Lower the heat. Stir in heavy cream and freshly shredded cheddar cheese. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until sauce is thickened. Taste first before adding salt and pepper.
