Ingredients

pasta (I used a box of ziti....but penne, spaghetti, or any of your favorites will do!

2 bunches of fresh broccoli

5 or 6 cloves of garlic

garlic powder (to taste)

fresh grated Parmesan cheese (to taste)

olive oil (to saute broccoli and then coat pasta)

salt (to taste)

flat leaf parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Cook pasta as directed on package.

Meanwhile, wash and cut broccoli into bite-sized bits.

Mince garlic.

Saute broccoli in large skillet with a touch of olive oil. I wanted it to be al dente...not the mushy variety you get when you steam it.

As broccoli is nearing desired "done-ness", add garlic to pan. You don't want to scorch it, so add it at the end so it just gets tender.

When the pasta is done, drain as normal.

Pour cooked pasta into skillet with broccoli and garlic.

Add more olive oil (I just eyeballed it, so there was enough oil to coat the noodles lightly)

Sample your work! At this point, decide if you want more garlicky flavor. Add garlic powder if you do!

Sprinkle a bit of salt over contents of skillet, if you want.

Next, grate some fresh Parmesan cheese over the contents of skillet! You can use the kind in the jar too....the fresh stuff just makes it a little cheesier!

Lightly chop some flat leaf parsley and sprinkle over the top as a garnish.

Serve hot and enjoy!
