Penne with Garlic, Oil,
Broccoli, and Chicken Broth
Makes about 4 servings
3/4
pound whole wheat penne
1/2
cup virgin olive oil
1
tablespoon minced garlic
1/2
teaspoon crushed hot pepper
1/2
cup chicken broth
1/4
teaspoon sea salt
2
cups chopped broccoli florets
3
tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Cook
the pasta and drain it. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet with
the garlic and hot pepper flakes. When the garlic just starts to
change color add the chicken broth and salt. Cook the broth for one
minute, until it reduces by half, and then add the broccoli. Toss the
broccoli for a few minutes. Add the cooked pasta, and stir it until
thoroughly coated with the other ingredients. Stir in the cheese just
before serving.
