A very tasty and super easy pasta dish. I tend to like to add a bit of pepper instead of the chili flakes. chicken is also a nice addition. Ingredients:
2 bunches broccoli |
1 lb pasta shells |
2 tablespoons salt |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes |
1/2 cup ricotta cheese |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Add salt.
3. Meanwhile, separate broccoli florets from the stalks
4. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook until tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove broccoli with slotted spoon.
6. Add pasta and cook to desired doneness, 8-12 minutes.
7. Drain reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
8. In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add garlic and hot pepper flakes.
9. Saute until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
10. Add drained broccoli.
11. Mix in ricotta cheese and pasta, until sauce is creamy.
12. If sauce is too dry, add as much pasta water as desired to get a creamy consistency.
