This is another really good recipe. I read a suggestion that you should saute the broccoli with the garlic and red pepper flakes, which I bet is good too. Of course, you can use any pasta that you have- although I have to admit that the little bowties are really cute.
Bowties and Broccoli
Ingredients
1 pound dry farfalle (bow tie) pasta
4 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
optional - pine nuts, crushed red pepper flakes, grilled chicken
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add farfalle pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
Place broccoli in a pot fitted with a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam 5 minutes, or until tender.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic, and cook 1 minute, or until golden brown.
In a bowl, toss together the pasta, reserved pasta water, broccoli, garlic, remaining oil, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
