BROCCOLI SPAGHETTI



Broccoli Spaghetti image

I got this from an Italian co-worker after having it at a work pot-luck. The flavor is really intense, and this can be served as either a side-dish or a meatless meal-in-itself. You can really use any type of pasta you prefer, I first had it with spaghetti, so that's always my preference. Really easy recipe. Edited: Psst.. please use real garlic, not the chopped stuff in the jar.. I repeat - use FRESH GARLIC, not the stuff in the jar, else you will be doomed to a bland result with no flavor. If made as directed, you will have a robustly flavorful pasta dish!

Time 45m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch fresh broccoli
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (I like more!)
1 cup water
salt, to taste
8 ounces spaghetti, cooked
4 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop the broccoli fine and add it to a sauce pan.
  • Add garlic, olive oil, pepper and the water and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
  • Break up the broccoli as it cooks so that the end result is a mushy, slightly chunky green sauce.
  • You may need to add more water or oil to keep it at a 'wet', pourable consistency if the liquid evaporates too quickly. You basically want it to be the thickness of a tomato pasta sauce. Add salt to taste; I only add the salt at the end, because if you do so earlier on, the saltiness may become more intense when the mixture reduces.
  • Serve over cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle with parm if desired.

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large bunch broccoli, cut into about 4 cups florets and 1 cup thinly sliced stems from close to the base
Kosher salt
Ice
1 pound spaghetti
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Add the broccoli florets to a large pot of boiling, salted water and cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Remove the florets from the pot, reserving the cooking water. Stop the cooking process by shocking them in the ice water. Remove the florets and pat dry.
  • Add the spaghetti in the same pot of water. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the oil, sliced broccoli stems, red pepper flakes and garlic to a large skillet over medium-low heat and sprinkle with salt. Cook until the garlic is lightly toasted and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the florets, toss to coat and warm through.
  • Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink, and add the pasta to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high. Toss the ingredients and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serve.

SKILLET BROCCOLI SPAGHETTI



Skillet Broccoli Spaghetti image

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.

Categories     pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 garlic cloves
1 1/2 pounds broccoli
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 anchovy fillets
12 ounces spaghetti (or another pasta that cooks in 10 minutes)
Kosher salt
½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)

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.

SICILIAN PASTA AND BROCCOLI



Sicilian Pasta and Broccoli image

This is a simple dish my grandmother made for me when I was a child. Now I make it for my daughter, Xea, and she loves it. As the broccoli takes on a toasty brown color, it develops a delicious nutty flavor that even picky kids will like.

Provided by Antonia Lofaso

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup olive oil, or more if needed
2 large heads broccoli, cut in 1-inch florets (about 6 cups)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for salting the pasta water
8 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 pound penne rigate (Penne rigate is my favorite because the ridges give it more texture.)
1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the water for your pasta while you prepare the broccoli.
  • In a shallow, 10-inch saute pot, heat the 1 cup olive oil over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Add the broccoli to the oil and season it with salt. Saute the broccoli for about 4 minutes, or until it takes on a toasty color. The broccoli will absorb a lot of the oil, so if you find your pot getting dry, just add a little more oil to it. Throw in the garlic and cook for about another minute, until it's slightly brown. Don't burn the garlic! Take the broccoli off the heat and set it aside.
  • Prepare the penne according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and toss it in the pot with the broccoli, garlic, and olive oil. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.
  • Toss in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stir, and garnish with the parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets are the best choice for this soup as it provides a vibrant green color and a crisp texture. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before adding it to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its bright color and nutrients.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. If you don't have homemade broth, look for a low-sodium store-bought broth.
  • Add some protein: Feel free to add some cooked chicken, beef, or tofu to the soup for a boost of protein.
  • Garnish with Parmesan cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese adds a delicious umami flavor to the soup. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy touch.

Conclusion:

Broccoli spaghetti soup is a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
