Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 oz. whole wheat spaghetti (or any other pasta will do)
2 crowns of broccoli, cut into smaller florets
4 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
parmesano reggiano

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine broccoli, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic salt, and pepper. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake approximately 20 min., or until broccoli just begins to brown. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, approximately 8 minutes. Drain pasta and return to pot. Add roasted broccoli and mix together. (Add more olive oil if necessary.) Divide into four to six bowls. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and freshly grated cheese. Enjoy!
