AWESOME BROCCOLI MARINARA
This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I'm sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!

BROCCOLI PASTA IN A FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
Determined to create my very own, 100% original pasta recipe, which I could call "mine" in all honestly, I made this for lunch today and was so thrilled with its fresh, light taste that I just HAD to post it and let everyone know that I'm not as unimaginative as I though! :) Reserving the pasta water saves some of the nutrients of broccoli from getting wasted.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add pasta and cook for about 5-8 minutes.
- Stir in broccoli and cook 5-8 minutes more, or until pasta is al dente.
- Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the water.
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan and saute the chopped onion until translucent.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the pasta-broccoli water.
- Cover the saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Uncover, increase the flame to high, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the most of the water has evaporated.
- Remove from heat and season with basil, parsley and oregano.
- Stir in the cooked pasta-broccoli mixture and mix well to coat.
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve hot!
Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Short pasta shapes like penne, orecchiette, or fusilli work best with this sauce as they can hold the sauce well.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will ensure the best flavor for your sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the sauce is just right.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Just before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh basil, oregano, or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This broccoli pasta in a fresh tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sauce is made with fresh, ripe tomatoes, garlic, onion, and basil, and it is simmered until it is thick and flavorful.
