What a tiring day! I took some spaghetti sauce out of the freezer so that tonight's cooking would be easier. My kids asked for pasta with broccoli too. And when kids ask for broccoli, I make it. That turned our Monday into a pasta night! Here's what I do for the pasta with broccoli:
I cook 2 heads of broccoli florets in a skillet with some water. Drain. In the same skillet I add olive oil, butter, and lots of garlic. Once the garlic is cooked a little bit, I add the broccoli back to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Then I add bread crumbs and cooked pasta (about a pound). If you need a little more olive oil, add some. Mix and serve with Parmesan. My kids love this recipe and it is soooo simple.
