Recipe: Pasta with Broccoli, Garlic, and Cheese Sauce

Main Dishes - Pasta, Sauces
BROCCOLI, GARLIC, AND CHEESE SAUCE

"Broccoli florets are added to the cooking pasta minutes before it's done so that both emerge perfectly al dente. After that, all that's needed is a hint of garlic, a splash of fruity olive oil, and a handful of freshly grated cheese."

1 pound shaped pasta, such as ziti or raddiatore, uncooked
1 bunch broccoli (about 1 lb), cut into florets
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh-grated parmesan and/or Romano cheese
salt (to taste)
freshly-ground black pepper (to taste)

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and stir a few times to ensure that the pasta does not stick to itself. Boil vigorously for the time recommended on the pasta package or until the pasta is tender. Four minutes before the pasta will finish cooking, add the broccoli to the water.

While the pasta cooks, combine the garlic, olive oil, cheese, salt, and pepper in a serving bowl.

Drain the pasta and broccoli and toss with the garlic mixture.
