      Title: PASTA W/BROCCOLI & GARLIC
 Categories: Italian, Pasta, Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lg Bunch broccoli, trimmed
           And cut into flowerettes
    1/2 c  Extra virgin olive oil
    1/2 c  (1 stick) unsalted butter
      6 lg Garlic cloves, sliced
           Paper thin
      2 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
      1 lb Large shell macaroni,
           Cooked
 
   Cook broccoli to desired tenderness in lightly salted boiling water.
   RESERVE 1 CUP of BROCCOLI COOKING WATER.  Drain remaining water from
  broccoli and cut into bite-size chunks; set aside.
  
   In a medium size saucepan; heat olive oil over medium, add garlic
  slices and stir until lightly and evenly browned. (At this point, you
  can remove and dicard the garlic, but I always leave it in!) Add the
  butter, stirring until melted.  Add red pepper flakes and simmer 3
  minutes. Add the reserved broccoli water and simmer another minute.
  Turn off heat and stir in broccoli.  Cover and set aside while
  cooking pasta.
  
   Place cooked pasta into large bowl.  Pour broccoli sauce over pasta.
   Toss to coat and serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and black
  pepper.  YUM.
