This is a fast, easy, and delicious dish that I created during a sudden craving. It's garlicky and a bit spicy- but can be easily altered to be more or less of either. To make into a vegan dish, simply omit the parmesan cheese. Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh broccoli, cut into florets |
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/3 cup chicken broth or 1/3 cup vegetable broth |
2 -3 cups prepared angel hair pasta |
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Saute garlic and red pepper for about 2 minutes.
2. Add broth and broccoli. Cover and let cook for 4-5 minutes.
3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the prepared pasta.
4. Toss broccoli, pasta, and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
5. Optional: Sometimes I use a little olive oil and butter instead of just the olive oil - it all depends on how many calories I feel like eating that night :).
