The aroma of the roasted garlic always conjures up the question, is dinner ready? This is one of my favorite pasta dishes, great for those nights you forget to defrost your something, or if you need to whip up a quick inexpensive yet healthy meal. Reserving some of your pasta water before you drain it, to add to the pasta after it’s tossed with the broccoli is my way of keeping the pasta from getting too dry, without having to add more olive oil. Adding crushed red pepper is also delicious if you like it a little spicy. Enjoy!
