This light, healthy, meatless entree is quick and easy. We used low carb pasta. It came from Good Housekeeping.
Ingredients:
12 ounces fusilli
12 ounces broccoli florets
2 -3 garlic cloves
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup grated romano cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450º F.
2. Cook pasta according to directions, adding broccoli when 3 minutes of cooking time remain.
3. Peel and smash garlic with side of chef’s knife. Toss tomatoes with garlic, oil, and 1/4 t. salt. Spread mixture in jelly-roll pan. Roast 15 minutes or until tomatoes wrinkle and begin to burst, stirring halfway through cooking time.
4. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water; drain pasta and broccoli. Add reserved pasta cooking water to tomatoes, stirring to scrape up browned bits. Return pasta and broccoli to saucepot; stir in tomato mixture, cheese, 1/2 t. salt and 1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper.
