 Menu
Put a little water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the broccoli and cook for
4-6 minutes or until tender. Drain well, reserving the liquid.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes or until 'al dente' (tender
but still slightly firm to the bite).
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the garlic and chilli and fry
gently for 5 minutes or until garlic is just transparent. Add the broccoli, season with
salt and fry for a few minutes more. Add some of the reserved cooking liquid if the
mixture becomes to dry. Drain the pasta and add it to the vegetable mixture. Stir well
and serve immediately, with grated parmesan or pecorino cheese.
