Instructions

1. Open 1 package of It’s That Simple Angel Hair pasta, drain, rinse, and set aside.

2. Boil a large pot of water (about 5 cups) on the stove over medium-high heat. Steam or boil 8-10 broccoli florets (about 1 small head of broccoli). Cook the broccoli until it's just tender, about 2-3 minutes—reserve ¼ cup of broccoli water for the sauce.

3. Add the cooked broccoli to a blender along with two tablespoons of olive oil. Add a small amount (about two tablespoons) of the cooking water and blend until pureed.

4. Melt two tablespoons of butter in a skillet and melt butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add the broccoli puree to the melted butter, stirring to combine. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, letting the sauce cook for about five minutes.

5. Add ½ cup of cubed cheese of your choice. For our recipe, we used American cheese and cheddar cheese, which work well together. Mix the cheese into the sauce until it’s completely melted. Add a few slices of shallot (about ¼ of a whole shallot) to add flavor to the sauce.

6. Add It’s That Simple Angel Hair Pasta to the sauce. Toss and stir to combine. Cook the pasta over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until it's heated through.

7. Dish up, spooning the extra sauce over the pasta. Dig in and enjoy!
