Pasta House Pasta Con Broccoli

This is the acutal recipe (not a copycat) as posted on their website and as printed in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. This is so yummy and is a St. Louis tradition. This recipe serves 2, so feel free to double or triple it to feed your family. Serve as a main dish (as they do) with a Pasta House Salad on the side! It also makes a nice side dish to grilled chicken.
* 4 ounces uncooked large shell pasta
* 1 cup cream
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
* 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
* 1/2 cup chopped broccoli
* salt and pepper
* 1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh button mushroom
* 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook pasta until half done (about 4 minutes); drain. Return pasta to the pot.

Add cream, butter, garlic, tomato sauce, broccoli, salt and pepper.
Bring to a hard boil.

When noodles are fully cooked and sauce is starting to thicken, add mushrooms
and stir to combine. Remove from the heat; add cheese.

Toss and serve.
