8 ounces pasta of your choice

2 and 3/4 cup of water, divided
8 ounces of broccoli florets chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup or more of cheddar cheese

2. Add the 2nd tbls of oil to the pan. Cok onions for several minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook another minute or two. Add in oregano and red pepper flakes.
3. Add in 1 and 2/3 cups of chicken stock tot the pan, and 2 cups of water. Stir in pasta and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes until most the liquid is absorbed into pasta.
