One-Pot Creamy Broccoli Pasta

INGREDIENTS

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 lb medium pasta shells
• 3 cups broccoli, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

PREPARATION

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Stir in chicken broth, cream, onion powder, and parsley.
3. Add pasta and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cover partially and let cook 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent pasta from sticking to pan.
4. Add broccoli and continue cooking until pasta is al dente, 2-3 more minutes.
5. Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and let rest a few minutes before stirring once more and serving. Enjoy!
