Ingredients Serving: 4
Pasta of your choice
Broccoli : 1 medium
Carrot : thick long slices
Garlic : 2-3 fat cloves(grated)
Milk : 1/2 cup
Mozzarella/parmesan : 2/3 cup, shredded
Salt and black pepper to taste
Oil (Vegetable or olive oil) : 1 tblsp.
Dried Chilli flakes : 1 tsp. (optional)
Instructions
Cook the pasta in a big bowl of boiling water till al-dante. I dropped few carrot slices in there and cooked along. When done, strain and keep aside.
In a microwave safe bowl or in a steamer, steam or cook the broccoli till they are cooked. Broccolis should be little soft as we are going to mash them for pesto. Drain and keep aside.
In a pan, heat oil, add grated garlic cloves, saute for a minute. Then add broccoli pieces, mash them completely with the back of your ladle. Now add cooked pasta along with carrot slices. Add seasonal fresh peas if you like. I did.
Season with salt, black pepper and chilli flakes. Mix well and keep sauteeing for a couple of minutes.
Now add milk and shredded cheese. On a medium flame, mix everything well till cheese melts and nicely coats the pasta.
By now, your pasta will be nicely coated with mashed broccoli and cheese. Season as per your liking and remove from heat. Serve immediately from the pan. You can also add other vegetables if you want.
