Tuscan Creamy Broccoli Shells
Ellbee’s Garlic Kitchen Box

Tuscan Creamy Broccoli Shells

Creamy shells, browned mushrooms and bright broccoli make this a side dish that can absolutely take dinner-center-stage if you let it. The Tuscan garlic and tomato-basil balsamic build a glossy, restaurant-style sauce without turning it into a heavy cream bomb.

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta in well-salted water until just shy of al dente. Add broccoli for the final two minutes, then reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain.
  2. Warm Ellbee's Chef's Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large skillet. Brown the mushrooms until they have real color, then add Ellbee's Tuscan Gourmet Garlic and cook for one minute.
  3. Add broth, half-and-half and Ellbee's Tomato Basil Balsamic Vinegar. Simmer until lightly reduced, then toss in the pasta, broccoli and Parmesan. Loosen with pasta water until the sauce clings to every shell.
  4. Finish with basil, black pepper and another shower of Parmesan. Serve immediately.
