broccoli cheddar pasta

Broccoli Cheddar Pasta 🥦🧀✨ Full Recipe 👇🏼 • 2 tbsp butter • 4-5 garlic cloves, minced • half a shallot, diced • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes • 2 & 1/4 cups chicken broth • 2 cups half & half • 3 cups pasta • 1 & 1/2 cups uncooked broccoli, chopped • 1 tsp paprika • 1 tsp Dijon mustard • 1 tsp oregano • salt & pepper (to taste) • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese • 1/2 cup Colby jack cheese • 1/2 cup parmesan Directions: 1. In a large pot, on medium heat, add the butter. 2. Once melted, add the red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and shallot. My video of adding the garlic got deleted, but trust me it’s in there🤭 3. Sauté until fragrant (2-3 minutes). 4. Add the chicken stock and half & half to the pot, the listed seasonings, and the Dijon mustard. 5. Stir well and bring to a boil. 6. Once boiling, add the pasta and turn the heat down to medium low. Stir often, about every 3-4 minutes, to prevent sticking & burning. 7. Once pasta is ¾ of the way done, add the chopped broccoli, mix, and cover for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to stir often to avoid burning or sticking! 8. At this stage, you can add extra chicken broth/half and half as required to finish cooking (everyone's sauce preference is different so feel free to make it more/less saucy at this point). 9. When the pasta is fully cooked, turn off the heat and add all the cheeses. Stir well! 10. Top with fresh parsley flakes and more parmesan cheese if desired and enjoy❤️ #broccolicheddarpasta #pasta #broccolicheddar #DinnerIdeas #EasyRecipe
