Healthy Pasta Dish

Healthy Broccoli Pasta Dish


We don't eat a lot of pasta in our house, but this recipe looked so delish I just had to try it; so glad I did!

Ingredients
1 box pasta (I used whole wheat)
2 cans seasoned diced tomatoes
EVOO (olive oil)
1 tsp crushed red pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 heads broccoli
Feta cheese (to taste)

Steps
1.  Heat oil in sauce pan.  Add garlic and let cook in oil until brown.
2.  While cooking garlic, cook pasta according to box.
3.  Add tomatoes, crushed red pepper, and any other seasonings you may like to sauce pan.  Heat through.
4.  With about 2-3 minutes left to go, add broccoli to boiling pasta.
5.  Drain pasta.  Toss with sauce.
6.  Top with feta cheese and serve while warm.

(I reheated this dish for leftovers and added some sausage that I cooked in a skillet to change it up a bit.)

Warning: This makes a lot of pasta!
