Cavatelli with broccoli,* chicken and white beans

I know everyone knows about Cavatelli  and broccoli  it's fast, simple and tastes great, a lovely combination.
Well I am going to add a little spin on it. A few  more ingredients can make it a little more exciting.

* Grill some boneless chicken breast .Drain and rinse  one can of white beans of your choice .
 Bring a large pot of water, with a little salt, to a boil, drop in your cavarelli (frozen or homeade) cook till almost done, then add the broccoi when the caatelli are done drain, the broccoli should be al dente. Save a 1/4 cup or so of the pasta water

Heat  some olive oil in a saute pan, add some sliced garlica,at least two to three cloves, (do not  let it burn) toss in cavatelli and broccoli  add a little chicken or vege brooth. Cut up chicken breast, add it to pan with beans, gently stir. Top with some grated cheese and the pasta water salt, pepper and chopped fresh  Italian parsley. Heat through. Put into a serving platter and top wtih more cheese. Serve in bowls.

A nice green salad goes well with this. Use baby mixed grrens and your favorite dressing.

*omit chicken if your are a vegeterian!
