Cavatelli With Broccoli

"WW Recipe-Cut the Fat Cookbook 1996. Accented with garlic and fresh basil, this quick pasta dish is delicious. I have not tried this yet, but it sure sounds like a meal that the whole family will enjoy. Preparation time is approximate since I have not made this dish yet."

  1. This turned out very well. Make sure to use only fresh basil and garlic for the best results. Also, be sure to have all the ingredients at hand since it cooks fast (I burnt the garlic the first time). This also tasted good at room temperature so would be suitable at a buffet. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
