Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Bucatini

Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Bucatini

Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 25 Min

Yields: 4 Servings

What You Need

• 400g dry Bucatini Pasta
• 2 Tbsp. EVOO
• 2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
• 1 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
• 4 cloves Garlic, crushed & minced
• 1 Yellow Onion, diced
• 1 C White Wine ( I used Sauv. Blanc)
• 1 Broccoli Crown, fairly finely chopped
• 1 1/2 C Whipping Cream, room temp.
• 1 1/4 C Aged White Cheddar, shredded (English aged cheddar is best for flavour)
• 1/3 C grana Padano, finely shredded + garnish
• Himalayan Salt & Cracked Pepper
• Fresh Parsley for Garnish

Directions

• Bring a large pot of cold, generously salted water to a boil. Once boiled, leave covered until needed.
• Let's start the creamy sauce! Begin heating the EVOO, butter, and pepper flakes on just about medium heat in a large skillet. Once heated, add the onion, garlic, and a good pinch of both salt & pepper. Stir and let the veg cook for about 10 minutes. You'll need to stir a few times to avoid any scorching. After about 10 minutes, your onions should be mostly softened up. Pour in the wine and let that bubble away as you drop your pasta in to the boiling water. Cook the pasta to just about perfectly al dente.​

​

• Once the wine simmers off by at least half, add the finely chopped broccoli. Season generously with salt & pepper, stir, and let that bubble away for another 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and wait for the sauce to start bubbling. Season again with salt, reduce to a simmer, and simmer until the pasta is where you need it.​

​

• Turn the heat off on your sauce and stir in the cheddar & grana padano until creamy and combined. Strain the pasta directly into your cheesy skillet. Toss for a couple minutes in the skillet until everything is creamy and coated perfectly, adding a ladle of pasta water for extra lusciousness. Taste and adjust your salt / pepper if needed. Cover and let the skillet sit for a couple minutes prior to serving.
• Serve your pasta with some additional grana padano and a sprinkle of parsley. ENJOY!
• If you're packing up leftovers, make sure to add some pasta water to your remaining pasta before packing it away in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
