Preparation
Roast the broccoli
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large) with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Boil the pasta
- Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 9 to 11 min., until al dente.
- Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
- Reserve the pot.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, mince the garlic.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add the tomato sauce, demi-glace, cream, ½ the reserved cooking water and S&P.
- Simmer, 3 to 4 min., until thickened.
Combine the pasta & serve
- To the pot, add the pasta and ½ the cheese.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until the pasta is coated and combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Divide the pasta between your bowls.
- Top with the broccoli.
- Garnish with the remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
