Ingredients
200 g linguine pasta
340 g broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
60 ml olive oil
4 tsp minced garlic
2.5 ml red pepper flakes
60 g finely shredded Romano cheese
30 g finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1.25 ml ground black pepper
salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Boil a large pot of lightly salted water. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, about 11 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, steam the broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water until tender, for 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and cook the garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant, for 1 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic mixture and steamed broccoli to the cooked pasta, tossing gently to coat.
Step 4
Add the Romano cheese, parsley, black pepper, and salt to the pasta mixture, and toss to combine.
