pasta with broccoli and garlic


After hearing that my sister was having a rough day at work, I decided to make one of her favorite dishes for dinner: pasta with broccoli, olive oil, and garlic. It’s so simple to make that it doesn’t really require a formal recipe. Cook one pound of pasta (we prefer linguine or spaghetti) in boiling salted water, adding broccoli florets to the water for the last minute or two. Drain and save about one half cup of pasta water. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat, and add five to six cloves of minced garlic, sauteing until light golden. Add pasta, broccoli, and pasta water, toss, and season to taste with salt and crushed red pepper.
