You need

To buy

  • 8 ounces broccoli crowns

From your shelf

  • 1 box Chicken alfredo creamy alfredo sauce with chicken & rotini pasta (Barilla)

Staples

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon oil

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cut 8 ounces of broccoli crowns into bite-sized pieces and add them to the water, returning it to a boil, then set a timer for four minutes.
  2. While the broccoli cooks, mince 2 garlic cloves and warm 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, for one minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour the contents of the box into the skillet with the garlic, stirring to warm through and combine, about two minutes. Drain the broccoli and add it to the pasta, tossing gently to mix.
  4. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Divide between two bowls and serve warm.

Note Swap the broccoli for frozen peas or asparagus if you prefer. Leftovers keep three days refrigerated and can be reheated gently in the microwave or a skillet with a splash of water. Serve with a simple green salad dressed in vinaigrette.
