Ingredients

  • 4 oz penne pasta
  • 1 lb broccoli
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 4 tbsps parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 dash salt

Directions

  • Cook the pasta in rapidly boiling water until al dente.
  • Trim the ends of the broccoli stems and cut off the flowers. Peel the outer fibrous layer off the main stalks and cut the stalks into bite-sized pieces.
  • Separate the flower of the broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • Place the broccoli in a colander and rinse under cold running water.
  • Put it in a saucepan with the olive oil, garlic, water, and salt.
  • Bring to a boil, cover tightly, and let steam until the broccoli is bright green and very crunchy-tender - no more than five minutes. Remove the lid and boil off most of the remaining liquid.
  • Toss the broccoli with cooked pasta and chicken. Top with red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese, if desired.
