Pasta with Broccolini

Pasta with broccoli is a traditional dish I’ve made too many times to count! Sometimes I like to swap the broccoli for broccolini. Broccolini is a little more tender than broccoli and has a slight sweetness to the taste so some people enjoy it more.

I love this dish because it is so simple, with only five ingredients, and quick to make. In just about 20 minutes, you have dinner ready, which is great for those busy nights! I used gemelli pasta for this recipe, but fusilli and orecchiette also work well with this dish.

• 2 Broccolini Bunches
• 1 lb. Pasta I used gemelli
• 4 Garlic Cloves halved
• 2 Dried Hot Peppers optional
• 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt to taste
