By Nick Puniello
As appeared in Bon Appetit
5 cups broccoli florets (from about 1 large bunch)
¾ pound fusilli or other corkscrew pasta
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped garlic (about 8 cloves)
3 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise
into ½-inch-thick strips
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1 whipping cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cook broccoli in large pot of boiling salted water until
crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer
broccoli to large bowl. Add fusilli to same pot and cook until
just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta. Meanwhile,
heat oil heavy large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and
chicken and sauté until chicken is just cooked through,
about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to bowl
with broccoli. Add wine, broth and cream to skillet and boil
until sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Add pasta, broccoli,
chicken and cheese to sauce and toss until mixture is heated
through and coated evenly with sauce.
