Regulars to this site have probably noted my love of broccoli and pasta! However, when the two are melded together it is simply heavenly.

This recipe comes together relatively quickly but it uses a few pans so there is a bit more cleanup. (It’s worth it!)

If you are a fan of broccoli let me hear you say “Hallelujah”!

ENJOY!
