From Ogden, Utah, Kris Capener shares her secret recipe for getting the kids to eat their broccoli. âThe tasty sauce and fun shape of the bow-tie pasta bring them back for second servings of this yummy, healthy dinner every time,â she says. Ingredients:
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes, undrained |
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
12 ounces uncooked bow tie pasta |
3-1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets |
Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, basil, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 13-15 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently.
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, adding the broccoli during the last 5 minutes. Drain; top with tomato sauce. Yield: 8 servings.
