Broccoli and Penne Rigati

Directions

1. I do this recipe all in the same pot it makes clean up easy.
2. First prepare perfect broccoli and set aside.
3. Next take the pot with enough salted water and cook the penne until it's done to your preference , before draining take about 1 cup of pasta water and set aside.
4. Place the pot back onto a medium hot burner allow the heat to dry any water in the pot.
5. Add about 5 Tbs of Olive oil and once hot add the garlic and pepper flakes and cook for about two minutes (don't brown the garlic), and once the garlic is lightly cooked add the broccoli to the pan and stir to combine and cover the broccoli with the oil.
6. Now add in the pasta another 3-4 Tbs of Olive oil and stir to combine.
7. If the pasta appears to dry and not coated with sauce add some of the pasta water and stir until you all the ingredients are coated.
8. Serve with Parmesan on the side.
9. That's it simple and delicious.
