Oops sorry wrong title... This Creamy Broccoli Pasta Saves the Day (and Dinner)

Bonjour!

This week, I’m turning down the stress and turning up the comfort (we had a rainy Spring in Toronto).

Because sometimes, we just need dinner to be easy, warm, and sneakily delicious.

Introducing…

This Week’s Recipe Spotlight

Creamy Broccoli Pasta​

Cozy, creamy, packed with broccoli and yes, made in one pan (plus the pot for the pasta, but does that count?).

​

Just simple steps, lots of flavour, and a dinner that checks all the boxes and ideal for leftovers for lunches the next day (I see you parents!)

​

Yes, it’s that kind of recipe: minimal mess, maximum comfort, and very little thinking required. You’ve earned it!

I served this creamy salmon pasta at our lunch with family on Sunday, and everyone loved it! It's easy and quick to make, and packed with flavour!

Let’s be honest: some days call for dinner that requires little work but doesn't ask for a lot in return. This one delivers.

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • A creamy, cozy pasta base that’s endlessly flexible
  • Swap the broccoli for asparagus or whatever green thing is lurking in your fridge
  • Got leftover salmon? Toss it in and feel like a genius
  • A no-fuss way to use what you have on hand—and still feel like you made something special

Doesn’t that sound like dinner done right??

If you whip this up, show me your cozy pasta magic! Tag me on Instagram @petitporcini or leave a comment on the blog post (Google will know I'm a real person with real persons trying my cool recipes!)
