This is a great recipe to use No Waste Roasted Garlic in. It is a light, non tomato based pasta recipe from those Desperation Dinners ladies. Ingredients:
8 ounces short pasta, such as wagon wheels |
4 cups fresh broccoli florets |
1/2 cup roasted garlic cloves, chopped |
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can black olives, sliced |
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Bring 2 1/2 quarts lightly salted water to a boil in a 4 1/2 quart or larger saucepan.
2. When the water reaches a rapid boil, add the pasta and cook, uncovered, just until tender. About halfway through the pasta cooking time, add the broccoli and bring the water back to a boil. The broccoli should cook 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, remove the peel from the roasted garlic and coarsley chop the cloves. Set aside.
4. Drain the olives. Set aside.
5. When the pasta and broccoli are done, drain them well and pour them into a 3 quart or larger serving bowl.
