                    Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                12 ounces penne pasta  |  
                                                12 ounces broccoli  |  
                                                1 onion  |  
                                                2 tablespoons pine nuts  |  
                                                2 slices prosciutto  |  
                                                1/4 cup feshly grated parmesan cheese  |  
                                                3 tablespoons olive oil  |  
                                                salt & pepper, to taste  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. - Heat the pine nuts in a pan (no grease) for a few minutes (they'll get dry and more crunchy) 2. - Cut the Prosciutto slices in small strips. 3. - Peel and mince the onion ; fry it in 2 Tbs. olive oil 4. - Prepare the broccoli in very small bunches; boil them in salted water for 5 minutes. 5. - Boil the pasta in salted water and strain them when they are still a little firm; spread 1 Tbs.of olive oil and mix. 6. - In the onion pan, pour the pasta and broccoli and add pepper; saute for 7. 2 minutes (turn gently) then spread with the prosciutto and pine nuts. 8. - Serve right away with the parmesan cheese on the table. 9. Hint : you may choose to put the parmesan in the pasta before the pine nuts and ham and turn. I prefer to do that because the parmesan cheese melts better in the dish when it is done.                              |
