1 lb. fettuccini (I used regular spaghetti)
Cook pasta until al dente. Add broccoli to pot for last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain; reserving 1 cup liquid.
Heat butter in pan, and melt over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup reserved liquid and 2/3 cup cheese.
Return pasta and broccoli to pot. Sprinkle with salt and both peppers. Toss to combine.
Remove from heat. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
If pasta is sticky, add more reserved liquid as necessary. Serve with additional parmesan cheese.
Poster's Notes:
I made this as a main dish, but I'm sure it would go nicely also as a side dish with fish, or some other dairy dinner.
