The story behind this recipe

Pasta is accessible to everyone, but it needs to be cooked correctly! I’ve written about this before [here](https://anamariagateste.blogspot.com/2017/02/stiti-sa-gatiti-corect-o-portie-de-paste.html?m=1).

Being short on time, I made whole wheat pasta with broccoli, with a total cooking time of about 20 minutes. The recipe is delicious and healthy.

While the pasta water was boiling, I sautéed 2 cloves of garlic in olive oil, then added about 300 grams of diced broccoli (I sautéed the firmer stalks first, then after 3-4 minutes added the more tender parts—the florets). Season to taste and add a ladle of the pasta cooking water. Optionally, you can add a tablespoon of basil pesto.

When the pasta was nearly done, I tossed it with the broccoli and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan.

Serve drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.

Stay healthy!
