Broccoli with Rigatoni
8 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of butter (you can use margarine too)
4 cloves of garlic, minced 1 bunch broccoli separated into florets
(save
stems for another use)
1 cup of chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 cup of basil, coarsely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried basil)
1 pound of rigatoni pasta cooked (rotini or fusilli works great too,
same
amount)
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or 2 teaspoons of dried)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup of grated cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Do this right before going on to the rest of the recipe.
When the pasta is drained place in bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil
or
butter and toss. This keeps the pasta from sticking together.
Put to the side.
In a large frying pan on medium heat, heat oil and butter and gently
heat the
garlic, about 2 minutes.
Add the broccoli and stir occasionally for 5 minutes.
Add chicken broth, cover and simmer just until broccoli is tender but
still
somewhat firm- 10 minutes.
Add half the basil and the drained hot pasta to the pan and mix
thoroughly.
Put on a hot serving dish and sprinkle with parsley, pepper, grated
cheeses
and remaining basil.
Toss together gently and dig in
