Roasted Broccoli and Pecan Pasta image

I had a whole bag of pecans and a lot of free time on my hands. You'll never look at broccoli the same way again! Being anemic, this recipe provides a lot of much needed iron for us ladies! It has a wonderful flavor, and a nice texture from the crunchy pecans! This would be fantastic to add to some tri-colored pasta with some Parmesan cheese! Yum!

1/2 cup pecans, coarse chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and pepper

  • Add pecans to bowl and mix to coat as well.
  • Empty bowl onto a baking sheet.
  • Roast the broccoli and walnuts in the oven until the broccoli is browned nicely. ( I don't have an exact time, I apologize! Just keep an eye on it! don't let it burn ).

  • After you remove it from the over, season with salt and pepper.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I loved this dish. The broccoli was roasted perfectly and the pecans added a nice crunch.

This dish is a little bland for my taste. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

I didn't have any pecans, so I used walnuts instead. They worked just as well.

I roasted the broccoli a little too long, so it was a bit charred. But the rest of the dish was still very good.

This roasted broccoli and pecan pasta was a hit with my family! The broccoli was perfectly roasted and the pecans added a nice crunch. The pasta was cooked al dente and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.
