Creamy Broccoli Pasta

"This is very good, for lovers of broccoli. Easy to make, and a more sophisticated presentation than many side dishes (or could be a main course). I used enough florets to fill a bowl 4"" deep and 5"" across, cooked them, and proceeded with the recipe. Didn't have fresh basil though, so I used about 2 tsp. of dried basil. Added cheese until it had the bite I wanted, and black pepper was an important ingredient. The pasta I chose to use was gemelli - simply because I had bought some and never used it much. Husband loved it and I liked it too. We'll definitely be having it again!"
