Ingredients:  
4 oz. Farfalle Pasta
2 Cups Fresh Broccoli Florets

3/4 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 Pinch Ground Nutmeg

Directions:
Directions:
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Cook farfalle pasta to a boil,
stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Remove
and strain through a colander; reserve the pasta water for later use. Add broccoli
to a microwave safe container along with ¼ cup water. Cover and cook on high
until bright green and tender with the bite, about 4 minutes. Drain, season with
salt and keep warm. Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet or saucepan over low
heat. Stir in cream and allow to simmer; stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Add
cheese and garlic, stirring continuously until cheese is melted. Stir in nutmeg
and remove from heat. If sauce is too thick, stir in a little of the reserved pasta
water. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, combine cooked pasta,
cooked broccoli and sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs if desired.
