Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch broccoli (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into large florets
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces spaghetti
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Set up a steamer basket in a 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water to come up to the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets to the basket, cover and cook until the broccoli is soft and nearly falling apart but still holds its shape, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and gently toss; season with salt and pepper, then mash.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to label directions, then reserve 1 cup cooking water and drain.
  • In a large skillet, cook the garlic in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil for 30 seconds. Add the mashed broccoli, the Parmesan and half of the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring, until saucy. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with the spaghetti, adding more cooking water as needed.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Chinese Broccoli: Look for broccoli with vibrant green florets and crisp stalks. Avoid wilted or yellowing broccoli.
  • Prepare the Broccoli Properly: Trim the tough ends of the broccoli stalks and cut them into 1-2 inch pieces. Separate the florets from the stalks, making sure to keep the florets intact.
  • Blanch the Broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps retain its vibrant color and crisp texture. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the broccoli florets and cook for 1-2 minutes. Immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Cook the Pasta: While the broccoli is blanching, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant. Add the Chinese broccoli and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pasta is heated through.
  • Serve Immediately: Garnish the pasta with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This pasta with Chinese broccoli recipe is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of crisp-tender broccoli, savory sauce, and al dente pasta is sure to please everyone at the table. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this dish is sure to become a favorite.
