So remember those roasted veggies and that left over cavatelli? Sautée them up and a dollup of roasted red pepper hummus..maybe a touch of water to make a cream sauce. Simple and oooooohhhh so good
Serves 3-4 people
13 oz. cavatelli
1 cup ricotta cheese
3 cups broccoli
8-12 cloves garlic
2 TBs butter
Pinch of red pepper flakes
In foil , add garlic, drizzle of oil and salt and pepper. Close up and put in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes. Steam broccoli and cook pasta . Smash garlic up.
Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
Add pasta, cheese, butter,flakes, garlic and broccoli and stir. Add a little of the pasta water until you like the consistency of the sauce.
That’s some good eats! I mash up the broccoli pretty good- almost like a diced broccoli. Add more flakes for heat .
