Oi, oi. I went for a 25 minutes jog yesterday around my house. It was beautiful. Perfect weather high 70s, the sun about to vanish in the horizon. Finding ways to be active and enjoying it is a must. Try to take a walk you will be amazed to discover things you never knew existed. It is like being a child.
For dinner I am making wheat pasta with broccoli.
One funny myth or fact. I had a discussion with my friend Mel on how to properly cook veggies such as carrots and broccoli. I said, “cook them until they are saggy and yummy” and she said,”that is disgusting. They need to retain their crunchiness”. Apparently in Italy we like them soggy and saggy, in the States crunchy or I would say uncooked. I like too cook mine so that I can mash them with the touch of a spoon. So first rule cook a bag of frozen broccoli until they are soft.
One bag frozen broccoli
Garlic 3 cloves
Dry red pepper
Olive oil
Wheat pasta
Parmigiano
In a hot pot with olive oil cook garlic with broccoli and pepper. Cook pasta according to package information.
When broccoli are done take half and mix or put in the blender until you get a smooth paste. Take the pasta once cooked place it in a bowl with the paste and broccoli. Add cheese and you got a dish!!!
Orecchiette pasta is ideal, but I just like all pasta!!!
