Spaghetti with Broccoli and Garlic

I am so sorry that I have not posted here for a couple of days. The past two days have been crazy hectic and I haven't had much time to cook or post on this blog. Hectic days are something that everyone in the 21st century is very familiar with. It is so much easier to just pick something up on the way home from work than to come home from a long day and cook a homemade meal. Yesterday I was extremely tired, so I came up with this quick and easy recipe. It turned out that it was really delicious.

Ingredients

1/2 box of spaghetti

1 clove of garlic

2 Broccoli Florets

olive oil

Pesto (we used a delicious spinach pesto from Fairway)

Step 1: Boil a pot of water and cook your spaghetti. When spaghetti is at the firmness you desire strain it and return it to the pot.

Step 2: While your spaghetti is cooking chop up your garlic and separate your broccoli.

Step 3: Heat a few lugs of olive oil on a frying pan. Add your garlic and cook on medium heat for about a minute. Then add the broccoli and cook till the broccoli becomes a lovely brilliant green and is tender.

Step 4: Add the broccoli and garlic mixture to your spaghetti and toss together. Add the pesto and serve.

This entire meal takes about 15 minutes to cook and is a great way to get a full serving of vegetables. I will be back tomorrow with another cooking tip. Enjoy!
