SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI RABE, TOASTED GARLIC & BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When oil is warm, cook garlic just until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bread crumbs and red pepper flakes and cook until bread crumbs are golden, 5 minutes or so. Remove and set aside.
• Cook broccoli rabe in boiling water until it is soft, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain well and chop. Cook pasta in same pot.
• Meanwhile, add remaining oil to skillet over medium-low heat. Add broccoli rabe and toss well; sprinkle with salt and pepper. When it is warm add garlic and bread crumbs and mix well.
• When pasta is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water. Toss pasta in skillet with broccoli rabe mixture, moistening with a little reserved water if necessary. Adjust seasonings and serve with freshly grated Parmesan.

STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Steam the broccoli, until cooked (6 - 7 minutes).
• Bread Crumbs: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add bread crumbs, oregano, salt and pepper and cook, stirring until the crumbs are toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Put the broccoli in a dish, and sprinkle with the bread crumbs.

BROCCOLI AND GARLIC PASTA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine broth, basil, pepper, garlic and broccoli. Bring to a boil.
• Cover and cook over low heat for 3 minutes or until broccoli is tender crisp.
• Add hot cooked pasta and lemon juice. Toss to coat. Serve with cheese.

BROCCOLI AND GARLIC BREADCRUMB SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Remove and discard the crusts from the bread; process the bread until it is fine (actually if the bread is a commercially produced sandwich loaf, I've always found it's fine to include the crusts). Use your culinary discretion.
• Cook the pasta in a larg saucepan of boiling water until it is tender, and drain.
• Meanwhile boil, steam or microwave the broccoli until tender, and drain.
• Heat the oil, butter and lemon juice (if using) in a large (preferably non-stick) pan; add the cumin and make sure that it is mixed through the breadcrumbs; cook the breadcrumbs and garlic until they are browned and slightly crisp.
• Combine the pasta, broccoli and breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
• Serve sprinkled with the shaved parmesan.
