SPAGHETTI AND BROCCOLI AGLIO OLIO



Spaghetti and Broccoli Aglio Olio image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large bunch broccoli, cut into about 4 cups florets and 1 cup thinly sliced stems from close to the base
Kosher salt
Ice
1 pound spaghetti
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Add the broccoli florets to a large pot of boiling, salted water and cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Remove the florets from the pot, reserving the cooking water. Stop the cooking process by shocking them in the ice water. Remove the florets and pat dry.
  • Add the spaghetti in the same pot of water. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the oil, sliced broccoli stems, red pepper flakes and garlic to a large skillet over medium-low heat and sprinkle with salt. Cook until the garlic is lightly toasted and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the florets, toss to coat and warm through.
  • Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink, and add the pasta to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high. Toss the ingredients and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for organic or local produce whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it's tender-crisp, but not mushy. Keep an eye on it while it's cooking, and remove it from the heat as soon as it's done.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and don't be afraid to experiment with other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti with broccoli and chicken is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables! With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table that the whole family will love.
