1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

6 cloves garlic -- finely minced

1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes -- or to taste

2 red bell peppers -- seeded, cored, and cut into

1/2-inch dice

1 cup finely chopped parsley

1 vegetarian bouillon cube -- dissolved in 1 cup hot

2 tablespoons salt

3 heads broccoli -- trimmed, florets cut into bite-size pieces

1 pound penne

Freshly ground black pepper

1. Place a large pot of boiling water {6 quarts} on high heat to boil for the

pasta.

2. In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the

pepper and turn off the heat. Drain the penne and add to the sauce. Toss well

to mix and serve in pasta bowls. Serve the cheese separately.
