Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 pound) package whole-wheat penne pasta
¼ cup olive oil
½ whole head garlic, slivered
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 bunches baby broccoli (such as Broccolini®)
1 (14.5 ounce) can fava beans, rinsed and drained
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta in boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic and red pepper flakes in the hot oil briefly, about 1 minutes. Stir the broccolini into the garlic; cook and stir together for 5 minutes. Add the fava beans and sun-dried tomatoes and cook until the beans are completely warmed, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and toss with the drained pasta in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese to serve.

The pasta was overcooked and the baby broccoli was too crunchy.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I loved this dish. The baby broccoli was cooked perfectly and the lemon and Parmesan cheese added a great flavor. I would definitely make this again.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The baby broccoli and beans are hidden in the pasta, so they'll never know they're eating them. Plus, the lemon and Parmesan cheese make it taste delicious.
