Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. broccoli

1 10 oz. pkg. capellini or coil vermicelli

6 Tbsp. butter

2 cups heavy cream

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Cut off and discard tough broccoli ends. Peel stems. Set aside a few whole flowerets for garnish; finely chop remaining broccoli. In a 5-6qt. pan, bring 3 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta; cook, uncovered, until tender to the bite, about 3 minutes. Drain pasta, rinse with cold water, and drain again.

While water is heating, melt butter in a 14" frypan over medium-high heat; add broccoli including reserved flowerets, and 1/3 cup water. Cover and cook until broccoli is tender when pierced, about 5 minutes; set flowerets aside. Add cream and nutmeg to pan; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and add 1 1/4 cups Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat. Add pasta and gently toss with 2 forks until pasta is completely coated.

Transfer pasta onto a hot serving platter and top with broccoli flowerets. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Serve immediately.
