Pasta with Broccoli
Serves:4
Preparation time:30min.

Add a side of broiled chicken or fish and you will have a meal in very little time.

Ingredients:

1/2 bunch broccoli
1/4 cup COLAVITA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup dry white wine
8 ounces COLAVITA pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Salt, if desired


Preparation:


Wash the broccoli. Trim the leaves and tough ends from each stalk; peel skin with a vegetable peeler. Cut the stalk into 1/2 inch lengths and the head into small florets. Heat the olive oil over moderate heat in a large skillet. Add the broccoli, red pepper strips, and garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Discard the garlic when brown. Add the water and wine. Cover and cook over low heat until the broccoli is just tender but firm, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain; return to saucepan and toss with butter, broccoli mixture, cheese, pepper, and salt if desired.
