Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 15 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 pounds of fresh broccoli, cleaned and chopped

1 pound box of Farfalle pasta (or substitute your favorite. We used Penne today.)

3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped (I've used garlic powder before, works just as well)

Fresh Ground Pepper

1/4 cup good quality olive oil

1 cup reserved pasta water

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salt

2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or grated Parmesan (according to preference)

3 generous Tablespoons of unsalted butter

Equipment:

pot

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

In a large pasta pot, boil pasta in salted, boiling water until 5 minutes before it's done. Add the broccoli into your pasta water at the 5 minute mark. (If you're cooking pasta that takes 10 minutes to al dente, add your broccoli after it's been cooking for 5 minutes.) Once pasta is cooked to your liking, drain pasta and broccoli, saving 1 cup of the pasta water for your sauce.While your pasta and broccoli are cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a large saute pan. Once butter is melted, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Take care not to burn the spices - if the pan starts to get too hot, turn it off. Add the drained pasta and broccoli and the reserved pasta water to the saute pan. Toss so the sauce covers all of the pasta noodles. Sprinkle with pepper and salt if desired, and garnish with shredded cheese.Enjoy!

If there were no food left, what could people do? Country people could eat their forest preserves and city people could have their traffic jams.
