Pasta With Broccoli Food

PASTA CON BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted (2 Tbsp kosher salt per gallon) water to boil. Remove and discard lower stems from broccoli and break into bite size florets. Add florets to boiling water and cook for 8 minutes until tender. When finished, set cooked broccoli aside making sure to not drain boiling water.
• Cook pasta in boiling water to al dente. While pasta cooks, in a large pan saute 6 cloves of chopped garlic in a 1/3 cup of olive oil over medium-low heat until golden. After golden (about 2-3 minutes) add 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes to oil.
• Add the precooked broccoli to the pan and continue to saute for 2-3 more minutes to further soften broccoli. Before draining pasta reserve at least 2 cups of pasta water.
• Add 1 cup of pasta water to the pan to make the broccoli sauce and cook for 1 minute. Add the pasta into the pan along with a 1/2 cup of grated pecorino. Stir to thoroughly combine and continue to cook for 1 more minute.
• Taste test the pasta and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Also, add more pasta water if required to achieve a loose consistency. Remove pan from heat and drizzle the 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive onto the pasta. Serve with more pecorino cheese, crushed red pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy!

SICILIAN PASTA AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat the water for your pasta while you prepare the broccoli.
• In a shallow, 10-inch saute pot, heat the 1 cup olive oil over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Add the broccoli to the oil and season it with salt. Saute the broccoli for about 4 minutes, or until it takes on a toasty color. The broccoli will absorb a lot of the oil, so if you find your pot getting dry, just add a little more oil to it. Throw in the garlic and cook for about another minute, until it's slightly brown. Don't burn the garlic! Take the broccoli off the heat and set it aside.
• Prepare the penne according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and toss it in the pot with the broccoli, garlic, and olive oil. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.

Bring to a boil over high, then cook, tossing often with tongs, until the spaghetti is al dente, 8 to 12 minutes. If the pasta is looking dry, add more water. Eat with grated Parmesan, if using.
