Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 pound pasta
- 1 cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add a dash of salt, then add the broccoli florets and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain the broccoli and set aside until needed.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add a dash of salt, then add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes for most pasta brands.
- While the pasta cooks, make your sauce. In a large saute pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the garlic and pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant and starts to shimmer. Add in the broccoli and wine (or chicken broth). Season with salt and pepper and simmer on medium-low for 8 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Increase heat to medium-high and stir in the broccoli sauce. Add the cheese and lemon juice and toss until well combined. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer to a large serving platter and serve at once!
