Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 pound broccoli florets -- don't use stems
-- (about 1-1/2 cups)
6 quarts water
salt to taste -- optional
3/4 pound ziti or mostaccioli
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves -- sliced thin
1 can chick-peas -- (15 oz), drained
-- and rinsed
freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-- (optional)
Place the broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam the broccoli for 5-6 minutes until it is cooked through yet still firm. Plunge the broccoli into cold water to stop the cooking and set the color. Set aside.
Bring the water to a boil, add salt, and cook the pasta until it is al dente, about 8 minutes.
While pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a saute pan or skillet large enough to hold all the cooked pasta, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook and stir until the garlic turns a toasty brown (do not burn), pressing down on it with the back of a wooden spoon-- about 2-3 minutes. Discard the garlic.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the chick-peas to the pan, and cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the cooked pasta, the broccoli, and the red pepper flakes if desired. Cook and stir gently over medium heat for 2 minutes. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the pasta and serve at once. Calories: 504 per serving.
