Broccoli and Pasta

Description: Fresh broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables. This is a great way to dress it up. Tastes incredible.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 lbs fresh broccoli
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 8 ounces linguine or 8 ounces thin spaghetti, cooked and drained
• grated romano cheese or parmesan cheese

Steps:

1. Cut florets and parts of broccoli stems into bite-size pieces.
2. In a large skillet, saute broccoli with garlic, oil, butter, salt, pepper, and cayenne over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until just tender, stirring frequently.
