Broccoli Alfredo Pasta

Description

This broccoli Alfredo pasta is so pretty made with farfalle, also called bow-tie pasta. Of course, you may use fettuccine if you prefer. As a main dish, this serves 2; as a side, it serves 4. Add a salad, if you wish, and some bread. We love it as a side with grilled chicken or shrimp.

Ingredient:

  • 4 ounces farfalle pasta
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (see Note)
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley sprigs for garnish (optional)
