What Makes a Great Cheese and Broccoli Pasta Mix?
Nothing compliments grilled chicken, shrimp, turkey or fish like a flavorful side of pasta. For those who like tangy sauces, cheese and broccoli pasta can be the perfect accompaniment to a less-flavorful entrée that needs a little boost. With a pasta mix side dish, the quick preparation time means there’s no excuse for leaving it off the dinner menu. Our chefs define high-quality cheese and broccoli pasta side dishes as having a yellow to yellowish orange color that is not gray pale or artificially bright. There should be plenty of nice broccoli pieces, and the pasta should be reasonably intact. Some herbs may also be visible on the pasta and broccoli. The aroma should deliver cheese, broccoli and pasta notes, along with additional seasoning or optional herbs and spices. The sauce itself should deliver both cheese and dairy aroma notes, and there should be no inappropriate off notes detracting from the aroma—especially sulphurous off notes from the broccoli.
