cavatelli and broccoli with chicken
(1 rating)
This is a quick dish that is a convienent " meal in a casserole"... which I love!Funny thing is, the picture on the bag of frozen pasta looks like the dish has sauteed pignoli nuts and for years I've made it that way.However,I have since realized that it was sauteed garlic! I now make it with chicken, olives and broccoli without the expensive pignoli nuts but I must say it would add a unique touch !

How To Make cavatelli and broccoli with chicken
-
1Bring salted water to a boil in a stockpot.Place cavatelli in boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, (after 5 minutes, I add the frozen broccoli to the water and continue for two more minutes, or, you can blanch the broccoli for five minutes beforehand, drain and set aside.)You could also used a head of fresh broccoli florets for this dish if you like instead of frozen and do the same for the cooking method.Drain and place in a large serving bowl.
