How To Make angel hair with broccoli

  • Step 1
    Trim off the large leaves of the broccoli; remove and discard tough ends of the lower stalks. Wash broccoli thoroughly. Cut the broccoli into flowerets; cut the upper stalks into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Step 2
    Cook the broccoli in a small amount of boiling water for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crisp-tender; drain well. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Start the water for the pasta. Saute the sliced green onions and garlic in 1 tablespoon melted butter in a skillet over medium heat until tender. Add the wine; reduce heat, and simmer uncovered, 5 minutes. Add the olive oil, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and broccoli; cook over medium heat until thoroughly heated.
  • Step 4
    When you see the pasta water is boiling, cook pasta according to package directions and drain well. Combine the cooked pasta and broccoli mixture in a large serving bowl, tossing gently to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
