what do you make for your husband to eat when a: there is half used quart of whole milk left in the frig. b: you went crazy with the on-sale broccoli (that your overly active tummy wont even let you eat) and c: you are going across the country for the next 4 days which will leave all of this to rot away while you are gone? why whole wheat pasta adorned w/ creamy broccoli sauce of-course! I love this because its creamy, but not fatty, has a good deal of veggies, whole grains and protein from the pasta. its a great weekday meal too. this is a loose recipe since i really just threw everything together, but i think you can figure it out.
8 oz penne pasta (whole wheat or as you please)
1 tbs butter
2 tsp flour
1 1/2c whole milk
salt and pepper
pinch fresh ground nutmeg
3/4c parm. reggiano cheese, freshly grated
steamed broccoli florets from 2-3 heads
*finely chop the broccoli, set aside
*melt butter in large skillet over medium hugh heat
*stir in flour, stir constantly for a few minutes
*slowly pour in milk stirring constantly
* add nutmeg and season with salt and pepper to taste
*cook stirring until the milk begins to thicken, take off heat
*meanwhile cook pasta to al dente
*when pasta is done combine with the milk sauce, parm and reserved broccoli - toss to combine
