Pasta with broccoli

The pasta with broccoli recipe can be done by anyone so simple it is! It's a healthy recipe and a smart way to eat broccoli, as its taste becomes better with the addition of garlic, extra virgin olive oil and good Grana Padano. Ingredients (4 people): • 1 broccoli • 3 pieces of garlic minced • minced parsley • 6 spoons of extra virgin olive oil • about 100gr of grated Grana Padano • 400gr of short pasta (orecchiette is the most used for this recipe) • salt How to do it: Put water in a big pan to boil. Add salt and when it's boiling, add the broccoli cut in pieces. Let it cook for about 10 minutes and then add the pasta (pay attention to pasta cooking time - usually it's written outside the pack). In the meantime, take a small pan and put the extra virgin olive oil inside and add the minced garlic. Let it cook without colouring and then add the minced parsley. Turn off the gas. When the pasta is done, pour it with the broccoli that cooked together on a colander to eliminate the water. Then take the big pan and put it (empty) again on the gas. Add the extra virgin olive oil mix and the pasta mixing it all, quickly adding the grated Grana Padano until it is all well mixed. Put it on your serving plate and...buon appetito! Enjoy!
