Fast and Easy Garlic and Broccoli Pasta

Fast and Easy Garlic and Broccoli Pasta

Ingredients
 

  • 3-4 tablespoon olive oil (too much makes your broccoli mushy)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (use as much or as little as you like, I like a lot!)
  • 2 cup broccoli, frozen
  • 2 cup cooked noodles of choice, I like this dish with fettucine
  • garlic flavored salt, to taste

Preparation
 


Put olive oil in hot pan at medium heat, and add
garlic. When the garlic pieces start to brown
add the broccoli, still frozen. You could speed
this step up by heating the broccoli thoroughly
by other means, but this way really takes in the
flavor of the garlic and the oil. Continuously
stir the dish until the broccoli is soft, about
ten minutes. Sprinkle with garlic salt to your
taste. At least a little is good, or it can be a
little bland. Finally, toss with cooked pasta.
ENJOY!!! You can throw in any additional veggies
you like, I have used mushrooms and sun dried
tomatoes in this too for variation. My semi-
carnivorous boyfriend LOVES this, his mom was
very surprised he actually ate broccoli!
