Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 -5 garlic cloves, minced
2 onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine or 1/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 cups broccoli, chopped
5 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb pasta, short chunky (like small shells)
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Bring a covered pot of water to a boil for cooking the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, combine the garlic, onions, and oil in a soup pot and sauté on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions start to caramelize.
  • Add the wine or water and stir well.
  • Cook until the liquid evaporates, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the red pepper flakes, broccoli, water, and salt.
  • Cover and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
  • When the pasta water boils, add the pasta and cook al dente, 8 to 10 minutes,
  • Drain, and set aside.
  • When the broccoli is tender, puree about 1/3 of the soup mixture in a blender until smooth and return it to the soup pot.
  • Stir in the cooked pasta.
  • Add a little water if you prefer a thinner soup.
  • Top with grated cheese and serve.
