Steps:
- In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil, garlic, and pepper flakes over medium heat until fragrant. Once the garlic has turned golden in color, remove it from the pan. You are left with garlic-infused oil in the pan. Add the broccoli to the pan.
- Cook's Note: Be sure the broccoli is completely dry before tossing it into the pan.
- Toss the broccoli to coat with the oil. Season with salt and pepper and saute over medium heat until the broccoli barely loses some of its crunch, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to high and deglaze the pan with the red wine vinegar. Add a few tablespoons of water, if needed.
- Cook's Note: Use pasta water if the pasta was made fresh.
- Add in the pasta and toss to coat with the oil. Top with Parmesan cheese for serving.

SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI RABE, TOASTED GARLIC AND BREAD CRUMBS
Broccoli rabe can take whatever you throw at it and still shine. Its mild but distinctive bitterness dominates almost anything you cook it with - but what's wrong with that? So a pasta sauce that features it teamed with garlic and chili flakes is a natural. Add bread crumbs for crunch and the dish is a real winner. You can use the same pot for cooking the broccoli and the pasta; you can use the same skillet for toasting the bread crumbs and finishing the dish. The whole thing will be done within 20 or 30 minutes, and it will showcase broccoli rabe beautifully, as it deserves.

BROCCOLI AND GARLIC BREADCRUMB SPAGHETTI
This fast-to-make pasta dish is a good way to use up leftover stale bread and, at the same time, to include a healthy green vegetable in your diet! Adapted from a recipe in 'The Australian Women's Weekly's Cooking on a Shoestring'. Adjust the garlic to your liking and don't include the lemon juice if you don't care for citrus flavours! You could, of course, use another vegetable in place of the broccoli and you could add onion. If you're not keen on cumin, omit it and add a favourite herb. I've also posted my adaptations of some other recipes from 'Cooking on a Shoestring': Recipe #365835 and Recipe #366217.

SKILLET BROCCOLI SPAGHETTI
This pasta, adapted from "I Dream of Dinner (So You Don't Have To)," by Ali Slagle (Clarkson Potter, 2022), might seem unorthodox at first. The pasta is cooked in the sauce instead of in a separate pot of boiling water? The broccoli is cooked until it's mushy enough to become sauce? Yes and yes, and for very good reasons. The sauce, sweet from simmered-until-tender broccoli and savory with loads of garlic and anchovy, tastes lovingly coddled, like you cooked that broccoli forever. But you know the truth: It came together in minutes. You don't have to wait for a big pot of water to come to a boil, but more important, the pasta and sauce have a symbiotic relationship. The pasta soaks up the sauce flavors from the start, and the pasta releases starch to help turn the water into a creamy sauce.

Steps:
- Thinly slice the garlic and transfer to a large (12-inch) skillet with high sides. Cut the florets off the broccoli, keeping as much of the branch connected to the trunk as possible. Peel the trunk and cut the trunk and branches into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to the skillet. Roughly chop the florets so even the biggest pieces fit on a soup spoon. Leave the florets on the cutting board.
- To the skillet, add the butter and anchovies, and set over medium-high. Cook, smashing the anchovies and stirring the butter, until the garlic and broccoli are softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the spaghetti, the florets and any broccoli bits on the board, 2 teaspoons salt and the red-pepper flakes. Pour over 5 cups water. Bring to a boil over high, then cook, tossing often with tongs, until the spaghetti is al dente, 8 to 12 minutes. If the pasta is looking dry, add more water. Eat with grated Parmesan, if using.
Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets provide the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh broccoli, frozen broccoli florets can be used, but they should be thawed and drained before cooking.
- Roast the broccoli: Roasting the broccoli enhances its flavor and gives it a slightly caramelized texture. If you don't have time to roast the broccoli, you can also steam it or blanch it.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra-virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a fruity and flavorful taste. If you don't have extra-virgin olive oil, you can use a lighter olive oil, such as refined olive oil or light olive oil.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic adds a pungent and aromatic flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use jarred or minced garlic, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't overcook the spaghetti: Spaghetti should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook the spaghetti, it will become mushy and lose its texture.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the spaghetti is still hot and the broccoli is still crisp. If you need to make the dish ahead of time, you can cook the spaghetti and broccoli according to the recipe, then store them separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, reheat the spaghetti and broccoli in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Conclusion:
Broccoli and Garlic Breadcrumb Spaghetti is a simple and delicious pasta dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of roasted broccoli, garlic breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pasta recipe to try, give Broccoli and Garlic Breadcrumb Spaghetti a try. You won't be disappointed!
