One-Pot Broccoli Cheese Pasta

Dive into a cheesy, dreamy delight with this one-pot broccoli cheese pasta that turns dinner into a creamy, veggie-packed adventure—because who said comfort food can't be quick and easy?

Ingredients:
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. fusilli
1 medium head broccoli, cut into small florets
3 c. water
2 c. half-and-half
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 c. shredded cheddar
1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan

Method:
1. In a big pot set over medium heat, heat the oil. Incorporate the onions and sauté until they become tender, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until it releases its aroma.

2. Stir in the pasta and broccoli, followed by the addition of water and half-and-half. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta reaches an al dente texture, about 12 to 14 minutes. Finally, mix in the cheeses, stirring until they are fully melted and combined.
