Steam broccoli: In a medium pot add about 1 inch water and broccoli.  Bring to a boil, cover the pot, and steam until the broccoli is tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain broccoli. Save about ½ cup of small broccoli florets and add the rest to a food processor.

Add the butter, garlic, basil, Parmesan cheese, cream, salt, and pepper to food processor and pulse until mixture looks like a pesto-like texture. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Cook pasta according to package directions.  Drain and add to a large bowl.

Pour creamy broccoli over hot pasta and gently combine.

Serve in individual bowls and top with extra broccoli florets, fresh Parmesan, and parsley!
