Broccoli With Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a fast, easy, and delicious dish that I created during a sudden craving. It's garlicky and a bit spicy- but can be easily altered to be more or less of either. To make into a vegan dish, simply omit the parmesan cheese.

Time 11m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch fresh broccoli, cut into florets
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup chicken broth or 1/3 cup vegetable broth
2 -3 cups prepared angel hair pasta
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Saute garlic and red pepper for about 2 minutes.
  • Add broth and broccoli. Cover and let cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the prepared pasta.
  • Toss broccoli, pasta, and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
  • Optional: Sometimes I use a little olive oil and butter instead of just the olive oil -- it all depends on how many calories I feel like eating that night :).
