This is another very easy dish we enjoy any time of year! I make it when I didn't thaw out any meat ahead of time and I only have about 15 minutes before I'd like to have dinner on the table. It's sooo easy!
Pasta con BroccoliIf you have some extra time, you could try adding chicken, sausage, or even sun-dried tomatoes. But this is just how my boys like it. So simple and so delicious.
1" pasta (penne and spaghetti are my favorites)
1 large bag of frozen broccoli
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
olive oil
Boil pasta according to package instructions. When it's finished, add the frozen broccoli to the water and let it cook a little longer (3-4 minutes) until tender. Then strain the pasta along with the broccoli. Put it in a larger bowl, tossing with some parmesan cheese and a few sprinkles of olive oil. Add salt to season, if you desire.
My mom used to make this all the time with the addition of some chopped garlic. It was definitely one of my favorites. I had completely forgotten about it until I needed a quick dinner for the Graham kids one night and found myself standing in front of the freezer staring at a big bag of frozen broccoli. It was a huge hit!
