Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 small broccoli cut into florets, smaller pieces if you wish
  • ¼ cup olive oil more if you like
  • 1 - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-2 dashes hot pepper flakes or to taste
  • ½ cup arugula aka rocket/rucola, chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoons pecorino cheese more if desired
  • 1-2 pinches salt or to taste
  • 3 cups spaghetti cooked

TOPPING

  • 2-3 tablespoons arugula chopped, fresh, more or less
  • 2-3 tablespoons pecorino cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of salted boiling water cook broccoli al dente, remove from the pot and add the pasta to cook in the same water until al dente.
  2. In a large pan add the olive oil, garlic and hot pepper flakes sauté 1-2 minutes, add the broccoli, cooked pasta and 2-3 tablespoons pasta water, cook on high heat, for approximately 1 minute. Add the pecorino and arugula, toss and saute on medium heat for 30-60 seconds, taste for salt*.
  3. Serve immediately, sprinkle with more chopped arugula and Pecorino if desired. Enjoy!

*Pecorino can be salty so taste before adding extra.

Notes

  • How Much Pasta To Use?
  • Rule of thumb is 2 ounces / 57 grams of dry pasta per person. Although you could increase to 2 1/2 ounces / 75 grams. This will yield approximately 1 1/4 – 1 3/4 cups cooked.
  • If you have leftovers of this spaghetti with broccoli, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat covered with a splash of water on the stove or in the microwave. I don’t recommend freezing the leftovers.
