Ready in: 14 mins
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients: 7

Fourteen minutes is not a typo: angel hair cooks almost instantly, broccoli florets simmer tender in chicken broth in the same skillet, and sour cream plus Parmesan turn the reduced broth into a creamy sauce without a roux in sight. Six servings from one pan — the weeknight recipe you deploy when the clock has already won.

Ingredients

8
ounces angel hair pasta
3
tablespoons butter
2
cups frozen broccoli florets
1
can low sodium chicken broth
12
cup light sour cream
salt and pepper, to taste
pepper
12
cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Begin by melting butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the frozen broccoli florets and sauté, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes.
2. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
3. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Add the uncooked angel hair pasta, cover the skillet, and cook while stirring occasionally for approximately 5 minutes or until the pasta reaches desired tenderness.
4. Stir in the light sour cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Finally, fold in the shredded Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.
