Tagliatelle with Broccoli is a quick and easy dish to make for a starter course or a full dinner. The texture of the tagliatelle works perfectly with broccoli. The flavors are blended together with butter, olive oil and breadcrumbs. Which make this a very filling dish.

When I was growing up my grandmother made a great pasta and cauliflower dish that was flavorful and filling. This recipe is just a variation of that dish.

Again, this Tagliatelle with Broccoli dish is a very simple dish that should take only a few minutes to prepare. You could use frozen broccoli if your in a hurry but of course to get the best results always use fresh ingredients. Enjoy!
