Ingredients
12 ounces dry egg noodles
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup whole milk
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a large pot or deep skillet, combine the dry egg noodles, fresh broccoli florets, minced garlic, vegetable broth, and whole milk.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the unsalted butter, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until the butter and cheese are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
