I have been trying to come up with some quick and easy meals. This one comes in at just under 20 minutes. It’s simple and tasty and filling. Serve a side of garlic bread with it and you’re good to go. Here’s how I made it.
INGREDIENTS
- 1x 13 oz box frozen chopped broccoli
- 13 oz frozen cavatelli
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Cook the cavatelli in boiling salted water.
While cavatelli is boiling (actually while the water is coming to a boil) cook broccoli about 3/4 of the way.
Simmer 2 tbsp garlic and 6 tbsp olive oil.
Drain broccoli and add to the garlic and olive oil.
Add 2 tbsp garlic powder and stir well.
Combine the broccoli mixture with the cavatelli and stir well.
Serve immediately with salt and pepper to taste.

This looks so good! A sprinkle of parm and I would be in heaven.

We have never had that type of noodle before! I am always looking for ways to make broccoli palatable for my kids, this might do the trick!

What is cavatelli? Is it a type of pasta? It looks a bit like penne.

Funny thing. I opened up the refrigerator minutes ago to prepare the fresh broccoli I asked hubby to put in the shopping cart. He didn't buy it. Me thinks he does not like broccoli.
