Yummy, I made this tonight everyone loved it. I'm going to try it next week with broccoli rabe and chicken. There is a restaurant by me that makes this dish with broccoli rabe, chicken or sausage. I have been trying to figure out what else they put in the sauce and this is it. Thanks for the recipe

Thanks for this very easy delicious recipe! I made it with Cellentani pasta and added chopped onions fresh mushrooms and some Italian seasonings. This recipe is perfect for all kinds of add-ins. I think next time I may add chicken or shrimp.

This is a great recipe, my only switch is instead of veg. broth I used Creme of Mushroom soup (my husband's favorite!) I also didn't have parsley...but this was great without! I will definitely make this again.

This was an okay recipe. I used it as a jumping off point and added a little lemon and some sliced leftover chicken. As written I thought it was a tad dull, but so easy and simple, and you can quickly adjust to your taste. A good basic recipe that can be made your own.

Simple and delicious! I add just a little bit more garlic (1 or 2 cloves).

So good and easy! I added some sliced fresh button mushrooms I needed to use up and also a pinch of crushed red pepper. I also only had chicken broth so used that. Would be wonderful with some sliced grilled chicken or shrimp tossed in for the meat eaters.

Great recipe as I concocted it...Used only oil (quite a bit less) in a non-stick pan to stir-fry chopped frozen broccoli pieces with minced garlic (same time) and-a little bit of-basil. Sprinkled one chicken boullion cube over this and added water before covering to cook. I also added some pasta water from (under)cooking bowties instead of rigatoni and then finished cooking the noodles with the broccoli mixture for a couple of minutes. Served with parm on top for a delicious and fitting side to chicken marsala. Mmmm

I enjoyed this, and it was fairly easy to make. I used frozen broccoli because that was what i had. It needs a little more flavor...red pepper flakes, italian seasoning, salt, pepper...whatever! The parmesan really helped. I will make this again because it was liked, just might tweak it a little more.

Very good, simple dish. I used beef broth instead of vegetable broth, as well as dried basil instead of fresh. I added some italian seasoning, onion powder, and a bit of fresh lemon juice at the end. It may have been a bit bland for my taste without the additions I made. I sprinkled in some mozzerella on the leftovers and it was a nice touch. Four stars for the recipe as written, and 4.5 with my alterations.

Very simple and good. I used more garlic, because we are garlic-lovers. :) This is not a strongly flavored dish, but it's not bland either. Cooking the broccoli in vegetable broth makes it very tasty.

Very good easy recipe - I only used 2 Tbs of Olive Oil and 1 Tbsp of Light Butter because the other amount just seemed excessive to me and I didn't want to make the meal that fattening. I added 5 cloves of garlic, about a 1/4 cup of onion, and used 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth (i can't find vegetable broth anywhere)i thought it came out very well and so did my husband - ate this with the Amish white bread from this site and the meal was complete!

I thought this was pretty good. I used chicken broth and actually thought you would use more than 1 cup. I thought it could have been more salty.

I loved this dish! It was a huge hit with my boyfriend, very light and tasty. I added a little bit more EVOO at the end and mixed a parmesan/romano blend of cheeses in with a bit of salt and pepper. I also poached chicken in broth then shredded and added in with the broccoli mixture. Otherwise, no changes! Plus, it got my boyfriend to eat the "little trees" referred to as broccoli. Will make again!

This was a good basic recipe that, after my improv tweakings based on what I had on hand, was fantastic. My changes: I roughly quartered the recipe and cooked the rigatoni in diluted beef broth. I used ~1/2 cup leftover lightly steamed frozen broccoli and supplemented that with half a can of sliced mushrooms, drained. I used margarine instead of butter along with the olive oil and sauteed the mushrooms before adding the garlic (jarred, minced, increased to ~3/4 Tbsp). I added beef broth instead of veggie and dried basil instead of fresh (decreased to ~1/2 Tbsp). Finally, when I added the broccoli, I also put in a splash of lemon juice and a ladle of pasta water/broth. There were no leftovers. :)

This was quick, easy, and delicious. I was just looking for a side dish, so I didn't use the pasta. It was very good and had several request the recipe. Thanks!

Very quick and easy meal to prepare and clean up! My husband and I both loved it! I added some crushed red pepper for a little extra flavor and skipped the margarine/butter to cut out fat/calories. Also, I added a few tbsp of the starchy water I boiled the pasta in to the simmering broccoli.
