Dinner in 10
This has become a staple in our house, and a favorite of my 5-year-old broccoli lover. Seriously, he LOVES broccoli. I love it because it’s got everything going for it: pretty to look at, yummy to eat, good for our bodies and it cooks up in 10 minutes. Do you know how happy that makes me?
Sun-dried Tomato & Broccoli Pasta
1 1b. whole wheat angel hair pasta
1/2-3/4 c. sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
2 cloves minced garlic
1 head of broccoli, or 1 pkg. frozen broccoli florets
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
crushed red pepper to taste
a bit of basil, fresh or dried
olive oil
Bring salted water to a boil and add pasta, cooking according to package directions, usually 4-6 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add garlic, broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper. Saute until broccoli is cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Toss pasta in the skillet with the vegetables, parmesan, basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Best served from a pretty bowl and eaten with chopsticks. 
I also usually serve a simple salad of spinach leaves tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt and some cracked pepper. Yum!
