Ingredients
- Coarse sea salt
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly smashed
- 4 large fresh sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon roughly chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 pound pizzoccheri*
- 3 small red-skinned potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾-inch pieces
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup freshly grated Grana Padano cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. In a small saucepan, heat butter, garlic, sage, rosemary and generous pinch salt over very low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent butter from browning.
Add pasta, potatoes and broccoli to boiling water; cook, stirring frequently, until pasta is al dente and vegetables are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reserving ½ cup pasta cooking liquid, drain pasta and vegetables; transfer to a large serving bowl. Remove garlic from butter; pour butter over pasta and quickly toss. Add cheese and toss to combine; moisten with pasta cooking liquid, if desired. Season generously with salt. Serve immediately with cheese for sprinkling.
