Kitchen tips
Get saucy. If you prefer more of a sauce, reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta and broccoli. Add the cooking water just a few tablespoons at a time to the pasta when tossing it with the other ingredients.
Add some cheese. To give the dish extra bite, sprinkle grated Parmesan or Romano on top just before serving.
