Guiseppe's Real Italian Pasta With Pork and Broccoli image

I learned to cook this dish from a visiting Italian artist and it is just wonderful. He used about triple the amount of olive oil I can bring myself to pour in, but either way is delightful. All of the amounts here are estimates - just use what looks right or suits your crowd.

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons pork or 3 tablespoons bacon, finely chopped
1 head broccoli
2 cups pasta, any kind
parmesan cheese (or asiago, etc.)

Steps:

  • Turn on some music and pour yourself a glass of wine.
  • In a large saucepan, heat one tablespoon olive oil and cook the pork.
  • Finely chop up the stem of the broccoli and add to the pork, turn heat down to medium-low.
  • Cook the pasta in another pot.
  • Chop the broccoli florets into bite-size pieces.
  • When the pasta is about done (or earlier if you like more tender veggies), add the florets. You could also steam the florets above the pasta on a rack set over the pot.
  • Drain the pasta/broccoli when both are done. Add to the pork saucepan.
  • Liberally add olive oil and heat until everything is hot and well combined.
  • Grate Parmesan on top.
  • Enjoy!
