Directions

  1. Wash the broccoli (if raw) and keep only the florets. Sauté them in hot oil until they release their moisture, then add a little water and cook until they soften. Mash them with a wooden spoon into small pieces.
  2. Grate the yellow cheese and melt it with the butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Add the melted cheese, the wine (or milk), and allow to melt completely.
  3. Pour the sauce over the broccoli, season, and, if needed, thicken with cream.
  4. Cook the spaghetti in salted water until al dente, according to the instructions on the package.
  5. Arrange the spaghetti in a bowl, cover with sauce, and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese just before serving. ≈ 2 min
