Ingredients
For 4 Person(s)
For the Pasta:
- 2 heads broccoli, washed and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- 1 pound short cut pasta, I love Shells because they’re great at catching the mozzarella pearls
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 pound Mozzarella, cut into 1/2 inch cubes or 1 pound Mozzarella Pearls, found in your deli case

Directions
- Get the Shells Pasta HERE!
- Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli to the pot and return the pot to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.
- Drop the pasta into the water with the broccoli and cook according to package instructions minus 2 minutes.
- When the pasta has about 2 minutes to go, place a large skillet over a medium flame and heat the oil.
- Add the garlic and cook until golden and fragrant, about 1 min.
- Scoop a cup of cooking water out of the pot with Broccoli and pasta. Set aside.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli and add it to the hot garlic and oil.
- Add the cooking water to the pan. Cook over high heat for 1-2 minutes. The broccoli should begin to break down into a sort of cream. Try crushing the pieces of broccoli with a wooden spoon as you sauté it. Taste for seasoning and add more salt as desired.
- Remove from heat and stir in the mozzarella. The residual heat of the pan will melt the cheese.
- Serve immediately.
