Ingredients to Bring the Flavor
Gather these fresh ingredients before we get cookin’:
- 8 oz angel hair pasta
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we’ve got our ingredients, it’s time to bring this dish to life. Follow these steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 4-5 minutes.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it’s fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes. You want them bright green and tender but still crisp! If you’re feeling a little bold, toss in the red pepper flakes for a nice kick.
- When the pasta is done cooking, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the rest. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the broccoli and garlic.
- Stir everything together, adding just a splash of the reserved pasta water to help everything blend nicely. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and combined.
- Serve hot and watch everyone come back for seconds!
And there you have it! A simple, flavorful dish that’s perfect for any day of the week. Enjoy every bite, and don’t forget to share the love. Happy cooking!
