Cavatelli With Broccoli - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 ounces cavatelli (spirals) or 6 ounces rotelle pasta (spirals)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 ounce parmesan cheese, grated
freshly cracked black pepper

Preparation

In large pot of boiling water, cook pasta 7-9 minutes, until tender. Drain reserving 1/4 cup pasta water, and place in large serving bowl; keep warm.
Place large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 30 seconds; add oil and heat 30 seconds more. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add broccoli; cook 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Add broccoli mixture, basil and salt to pasta; toss, adding just enough of the reserved pasta water to moisten. Top evenly with cheese and pepper.
