How to Make Broccoli Garlic Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
- While the water is heating, wash and cut 1 large head of broccoli into florets. Steam the broccoli until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 4-6 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute), being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Cook 1 pound of your favorite pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Add the cooked pasta and steamed broccoli to the skillet with the garlic oil. Toss to combine.
- If needed, add a splash of pasta water to create a creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (amount to taste).
