One-Pot Meal: Creamy Pasta with Broccoli

Apr 27, 2015 Stephanie

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Barilla®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #OnePotPasta http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

We all have that one meal that reminds us of growing up. The meal that takes us back to when we were younger and someone else was doing the cooking for you. For me, that dish was Broccoli & Pasta – made with a parmesan cheese sauce, garlic and olive oil.  I make it the way it was made for me – and my children love it. So, when I can save a little prep time on dinner to spend more time with them, it’s a win-win. Every time-saver helps make a big difference in our nighttime routine.

With Barilla Pronto Pasta, you can make your meals more efficient and free up some more time. Who doesn’t need that? After picking up the Barilla Pronto Penne Pasta at ShopRite, I decided to adapt my favorite recipe to a quick, one-pot meal that I could throw together in no time.

The result was a One-Pot Creamy Pasta with Broccoli Dish. There were no leftovers around our table of picky eaters.

You can get the complete recipe below, but I promise, it’s simple and quick. The Barilla Pronto Pasta allows you to do your cooking all in one pot. You don’t have to boil it seperately or drain it. I love the idea of less dishes!

The possibilities for Barilla Pronto Pasta are endless in my kitchen – we make a lot of meals and dishes with pasta and I know this will become a way for me to cook our favorites in less time & effort.

One-Pot Creamy Penne Pasta with Broccoli

Ingredients

1 box Barilla Pronto Penne

fresh broccoli florets – 3 cups

4 TBSP Olive Oil

3 Cloves of garlic – minced

Salt and Pepper

2 c. Parmesan. cheese – freshly grated or shaved

1/2 lemon – juiced

3/4  c. chicken stock

dash of garlic powder

Directions

1. Start with a large skillet or pan. Add the whole box of pasta and 3 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 6-7 minutes until pasta is almost al-dente. The water will have started to be absorbed.

2. Add in your fresh broccoli florets, garlic and chicken stock and allow to cook for the remaining 3-4 minutes – the liquid should be almost all absorbed.

3. Add in olive oil and chicken stock, stirring and cooking an additional minute.

4. Finally, add in the grated parmesan cheese. Save a little on the side for topping each serving later on. Mix cheese into pasta until melted and evenly spread throughout the dish. If you need a little more liquid, use the chicken stock to add some moisture.

5. Remove from skillet – serve and enjoy the fact that there was only one pot used to prepare this meal!

    Pasta and broccoli are two of my favorite things to eat. I’m going to try your recipe because I’m always trying to find new ways to serve broccoli to the kids. It’s so good for us. I could seriously eat pasta 3 meals a day and snacks too. I love it that much.

    I am not going to lie, I saw the title and thought ‘ew, broccoli’. But the recipe looks amazingly delicious, so I saved it to give it a try. Everyone in the family but me likes broccoli, so I think they will enjoy it, thanks!

    I am sat here trying to think of that one meal that I loved eating after my mum cooked and nothing comes to mind because all the meals she cooked we loved and still do. Many people have recreated them and somehow they do not taste the same lol, this pasta and broccoli looks delicious, never had it before

    It is hard to think of new vegetarian dishes and combinations!! This sound like it would be delicious for a pasta night!! My husband would want chicken on his though but the spice combination sounds amazing!

    I’m a big fan of broccoli anything, I always have been. Same with pasta. If it’s starchy, I’m there. I love this no boil pasta, I’m definitely going to look for that on my next shopping trip, and I’m absolutely pinning this delish looking dish!

    This looks really yummy.. I would love to add cream cheese to it add to the creaminess. Fresh garlic will make any meal pop. I love that this can be a side dish or even the main meal. Thank you for sharing.
