Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small broccoli bunch, cut into florets
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 pound mushrooms (about 2 cups), sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped green olives
3 plum tomatoes, chopped
8 ounces penne or other tubular pasta, freshly cooked
Grated Romano

Steps:

  • Cook broccoli in large saucepan of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain well.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, oregano, lemon juice and red pepper flakes. Cook until garlic is just golden, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium and add mushrooms and zucchini. Cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add wine and simmer 2 minutes. Add broccoli, olives and tomatoes; cook until broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Place pasta in large bowl and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add vegetable mixture and combine well. Serve, passing Romano separately.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish turned out too oily. I think I would use less olive oil next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and spices, and it was much better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms that were about to go bad, so I threw them all into the pasta and it turned out great!

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The combination of vegetables and olives was delicious, and the sauce was flavorful but not too heavy. I also appreciated that the recipe was easy to follow, even for a beginner cook like me.
