Directions
Bow Tie Pasta With Broccoli and Broccoli Sauce, I’ve gotten 8 year old boys to eat this and ask for seconds. They never knew they were eating broccoli and I didn’t tell them. I adore this dish. Normally I cook with olive oil but the butter in this sauce should not be substituted. It will serve 4 as a side dish or 2 as a main course. The original recipe comes from Rozanne Gold, a favorite cookbook author., Was really excited for this but it was bland, boiling the broccoli made my house smell foul and I tossed out the rest after eating a bowl. Added what appeared to be a handful of garlic salt but it couldn’t save it. I’m happy that others have had luck with it though! Didn’t want to give it 1 star but since I actually tossed leftovers I think it qualifies.. ., this was ok for us. We all like broccoli but it needed more seasoning. Thank you for posting, I will make again, just adding a little.
