Description

Pasta with a lemony-cream sauce, tossed with broccoli, arugula & tomatoes. A fresh & delicious summer meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 2 whole Lemons
  • 1 bunch Broccoli
  • 1 pound Fusilli Pasta
  • 5 ounces, weight Baby Arugula
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes, Halved

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, saute the garlic in the olive oil for about a minute. Add the cream, zest of 2 lemons, and the juice from 2 lemons.

Season with salt & pepper & bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer & cook for 20 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.

Meanwhile, cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces & discard the stem. Blanch them in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water & set aside.

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. When done, drain & return to the pot & place back on the stove over medium heat. Stir in the cream & cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until most of the sauce gets absorbed by the pasta.

Pour the hot pasta into a large bowl & toss in the arugula, Parmesan, tomatoes & cooked broccoli.

Toss well, season to taste & serve hot.

Wow does this look goooood! DEFINITELY a keeper! Pasta looks like rotelle or rotini though, not fusilli. I know, as I have a love affair goin’ on with fusilli! LOL

I saw this and was surprised when I read “serve hot’. I thought it was a salad!

Looks yummy
