Broccoli, Garlic and Rigatoni

 

1/3 pound rigatoni noodles

1 cup broccoli florets

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 teaspoons minced garlic

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook

until al dente (tender), 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the package

directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly.

While the pasta is cooking, in a pot fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch

of water to a boil. Add the broccoli, cover and steam until tender, about 10

minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and broccoli. Toss with Parmesan

cheese, olive oil and garlic. Season with pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Makes 2 servings.
