Made for my 3 yr old daughter at least 4 times a week upon her request. She and I share the same dinner so I am glad she likes it as I could eat it every nite and not get tired of it. Very simple, inexpensive and a good way to get younger children to eat broccoli without dousing it in processed cheese. The garlic takes on a very sweet flavor which makes it enjoyable to their tastebuds. You can use any pasta shape. She always helps me make this so everything is an estimate. Sorry! Ingredients:
3 tablespoons light olive oil |
2 large fresh garlic cloves, minced |
4 cups broccoli florets, chopped (frozen or fresh) |
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt |
2 cups mini pasta shells |
Directions:
1. Start cooking pasta according to package directions.
2. Sautee minced garlic and sea salt in olive oil 5 min till soft and starting to darken.
3. Add broccoli and saute on med for about 12-15 minutes or until broccoli is tender; not mushy and garlic is toasty brown.
4. Drain pasta and toss with broccoli.
5. Top with a good shaved parm cheese.
