This is a brilliant, quick & fresh meal.  Great for a lunch in the summer, or a quick, slap together dinner.  We often do this after a long day, where we do no have much time (or energy) to make something more complicated.

Ingredients

  • Spaghetti for 4 - Check cooking spaghetti perfectly
  • 1 medium head of Broccoli (florets cut into bite sized pieces)
  • 2 medium cloves of garlic, sliced very thinly
  • 2 Tbsp Pine Nuts
  • 100g Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Rice Oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped Parsley (flat leaf/ Italian)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Parmigiano to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pasta according to my Cooking spaghetti perfectly recipe.
  2. Bring a sauce pan (large enough to take all the ingredients) to a medium heat on the stove.
  3. When the pan is hot, add the pine nuts and toast until they brown slightly. Remove pine nuts and set aside.
  4. Add the butter and oil to the pan. Once the butter has melted add the garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes - do not let the garlic burn as it will become bitter. Remove the garlic and set aside, leaving as much of the butter and oil in the pan.
  5. Add the broccoli florets and cook them over the medium heat until they are al dente (cooked but still firm!)
  6. Once cooked, add the pine nuts, garlic and spaghetti to the pan and toss through.
  7. Serve with a sprinkle of parmigiano.
