Good evening! Man, is it cold here in Texas today! My husband and I have literally been freezing all day. It's 43 out right now. Brr! This comforting dish will surely warm you up on a chilly winter evening. It's super easy, and so delicious. I just love broccoli and pasta together, add some alfredo sauce in there and I'm a happy girl! Oh yeah, I forgot to sprinkle with parsley before I took pictures, just pretend it's there! ;o) I hope you enjoy!
