Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow Onion
- 500 g Fresh Broccoli (chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Stir in chopped broccoli and sauté for another 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender yet still vibrant green. Add another teaspoon of salt.
- Pour in the heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a separate pot according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
