Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put a large pot of water on the stove and start bringing it to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, warm about half of the garlic with the pepper flakes in the olive oil over medium-low heat. Take care that the fumes from the pepper flakes don't irritate your eyes. If possible, open a window in the kitchen. When the garlic is warmed through, remove the pan from the heat.
  • When the water comes to a boil, add the spaghetti and salt. When pasta is half cooked, still hard in its center, add the broccoli and finish cooking together.
  • When the broccoli is bright green and just tender, the spaghetti should be al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  • Toss the pasta and broccoli with the garlic-chile oil, and add the remaining garlic. Toss well and add a few spoonfuls of the reserved cooking water, shaking the pan over medium heat, adding a few more spoonfuls of water as you go.
  • The cooking water acts as a liaison between pasta and sauce.
  • Serve right away, sprinkled with cheese, if desired.

    Oh,yes!! Another extreme garlic lover.
    Hubby is always complaining that I use too much garlic when I cook....'too much garlic' to some is 'never enough' for me.
    Thanks,
    Carrie :)
