A delightful twist on a classic Alfredo dish, combining bow tie pasta and fresh broccoli with a creamy herb-infused sauce.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to maintain consistent cooking.
Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cook the bow tie pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions. Add the broccoli florets during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain well.
Adding the broccoli to the pasta water saves time and reduces cleanup.
In the greased casserole dish, combine the cooked pasta and broccoli with the Alfredo sauce, dried basil, and ground pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the pasta or crushing the broccoli.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture and evenly heat the ingredients.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
For a crispier topping, broil for the last 2 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your creamy pasta dish!
Letting the dish rest helps the flavors meld together.
