If you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that the whole family will love, look no further because I've got you! This Creamy One Pot Broccoli Pasta is delicious, incredibly simple to make, and requires just a handful of ingredients. Oh, and did I mention, it comes together with only one pot? It's the perfect crowd-pleasing recipe that is sure to delight, every time!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Small Onion diced
- 3 Cloves Garlic mashed
- 1 16 Ounce Package Pasta of Choice
- ¾ Cup Whole-Milk Plain Yogurt or substitute for dairy-free
- 1 Pound Broccoli cut into bite-sized florets
- 1 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 3 ¾ Cups Broth of Choice I love using chicken bone broth
- 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Cup Parmigiano Reggiano freshly grated
Instructions
- To make this creamy and delicious pasta, start by adding your olive oil to a pan and heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Dice your onion and garlic, then once the oil is hot, add them to the pan and sauté them for 3-4 minutes, until they're nice and fragrant. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper to the pan.
- Next, add your dry pasta to the pan, along with your yogurt, broccoli, broth, red pepper flakes, and a little more olive oil.
- Stir your pasta ingredients together very well, to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot and to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
- Cover your pot and turn heat to a medium low. Allow the pasta to cook until the liquid is absorbed and the noodles are al dente — this took 11 minutes with the pasta I used, but will vary from pasta to pasta.
- Once the pasta is fully cooked, remove the cover and add 3/4 cup of the shredded Parmigiano Reggiano, continuing to stir the pasta until the cheese is fully incorporated.
- Finally, plate your pasta, topped with the remaining cheese, serve, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to one week.
