 Ingredients List

  • 1 pound pasta
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups cream
  • salt, grated nutmeg and/or cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into 1/4 inch thick chunks
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • olive oil for pan
  • salt and pepper to taste

 Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions.

While pasta is cooking, make sauce : melt butter in good-sized saucepan over medium heat and whisk in flour. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, then add cream all at once and whisk well. Simmer 5 - 10 minutes, whisking often, until thick. Add seasonings to taste....definitely salt, a small sprinkle of nutmeg, and a few grains of cayenne (you're not trying to make the sauce spicy - just warms up the flavors. Although if you do like spicy, you can add a good amount of chipotle and make a very different - but still tasty - dish. ).

While sauce is simmering, make chicken and broccoli : heat oil in a saute pan, saute chicken and garlic (seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper) together until done, then saute broccoli in the same pan until done.

Combine pasta, sauce, chicken and broccoli in large bowl or pot. Pass extra Parmesan at the table.
