Simple broccoli sauce

Simple broccoli sauce

Ingredients

• 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
• 4 tablespoons of olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Salt and pepper (optional)

Method

In a large, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over a medium heat until simmering. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add the broccoli and toss well in the oil, cooking until completely tender (1-2 minutes).
Add pasta to the pan with the broccoli and toss well to coat. Add half the Parmesan (optional) and the reserved pasta cooking water little by little until it creates a sauce that clings to the pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with the remaining Parmesan.

Bon Appetit!
