Ingredients
- 1 pound penne or pasta of choice
- 1 large broccoli cut into florets
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 6-8 dehydrated chili peppers or to taste
- ¼ cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to boil and add your pasta, cooking according to package directions for al dente pasta. Add the broccoli to the pot when there are 8 minutes left to cook your pasta so the broccoli does not overcook. *See notes* Drain pasta and broccoli once cooked, reserving ¼ cup of the pasta water.
- Meanwhile, add the olive oil, garlic and peppers to a large skillet and sauté over medium heat until peppers and garlic are slightly browned, approx. 5 minutes. Add the reserved pasta water, your pasta and broccoli to the pan. Sauté everything together, constantly mixing for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve with extra chili flakes or Vegan Parmesan Cheese if desired.

Notes
- If your pasta requires 13 minutes to cook, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes, then add the broccoli to cook for the remaining 8 minutes.
