Ingredients

12 ounces Mueller's® Penne

2 tablespoons salt

1 pound broccoli florets, coarsely chopped

1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken breast cubed

1/4 cup olive oil

5 cloves of chopped garlic, or 5 tsp minced garlic

Salt & crushed red pepper flakes to taste

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Cooking Directions

In a large pot, bring six quarts of water with two tablespoons of salt added, to a boil. Add pasta and broccoli and cook for 10-12 minutes, until pasta is al dente. Before draining, reserve two cups of pasta cooking water. Drain well and set aside.

While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken, garlic, and red pepper flakes until chicken is cooked through.

In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta and broccoli with chicken and garlic, adding some of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
