    Broccoli, Garlic and Rigatoni

    Mayoclinic.com – e-mail
    Serves 2

    Dietitian's tip: "Broccoli is high in vitamins A and C, which are considered antioxidant vitamins. Broccoli also has isothiocyanates, indoles and flavonoids — phytochemicals that may help prevent cancer."

    Ingredients:
    1. 1/3 pound rigatoni noodles
    2. 2 cups broccoli florets (tops)
    3. 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
    4. 2 teaspoons olive oil
    5. 2 teaspoons minced garlic
    6. Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    Directions:
    Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (tender), 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the package directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly.

    While the pasta is cooking, in a pot fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add the broccoli, cover and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and broccoli. Toss with Parmesan cheese, olive oil and garlic. Season with pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
