Fast With Five: Creamy Broccoli Pasta

Recipe Ingredients

12 oz	340g	Linguine or spaghetti
3 cups	438g / 15oz	Broccoli florets
		- coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Chicken stock
1 teaspoon	5ml	All-purpose flour
1 cup	237ml	Light herb cream cheese

Recipe Instructions

By the time the water for the pasta boils, the light herbed cream sauce is ready. Do serve with Parmesan if you like, and add a leafy lettuce, red onion and mushroom salad. A new pasta form "I Tegolacci" is recommended if you can locate it.

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine for 6 minutes. Add broccoli; cook for 2 minutes or until pasta is tender but firm and broccoli is tender-crisp. Drain and return to pot.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat chicken stock over medium-high heat; whisk in flour and cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; whisk in cream cheese until melted. Toss with pasta mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
