In a pot over medium-high heat, boil water with salt and the vegetable broth. Add the pasta and cook as instructed on the packaging.

A few minutes before it’s is done, add the broccoli florets to the pot.

Once the pasta is al dente, discard 3/4 of the water and set heat to low.

Add the heavy cream, butter, cornstarch, salt, and Parmesan cheese. Stir and let it simmer for 2 -3 minutes.

Serve on plates and add pepper.
