Roasted Broccoli and Pecan Pasta image

I had a whole bag of pecans and a lot of free time on my hands. You'll never look at broccoli the same way again! Being anemic, this recipe provides a lot of much needed iron for us ladies! It has a wonderful flavor, and a nice texture from the crunchy pecans! This would be fantastic to add to some tri-colored pasta with some Parmesan cheese! Yum!

2 heads broccoli, cut into large florets
1/2 cup pecans, coarse chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Add pecans to bowl and mix to coat as well.
  • Empty bowl onto a baking sheet.
  • Roast the broccoli and walnuts in the oven until the broccoli is browned nicely. ( I don't have an exact time, I apologize! Just keep an eye on it! don't let it burn ).

  • After you remove it from the over, season with salt and pepper.
