Broccoli Spaghetti Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the broccoli fine and add it to a sauce pan.
• Add garlic, olive oil, pepper and the water and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
• Break up the broccoli as it cooks so that the end result is a mushy, slightly chunky green sauce.
• You may need to add more water or oil to keep it at a 'wet', pourable consistency if the liquid evaporates too quickly. You basically want it to be the thickness of a tomato pasta sauce. Add salt to taste; I only add the salt at the end, because if you do so earlier on, the saltiness may become more intense when the mixture reduces.
• Serve over cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle with parm if desired.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Beat the eggs with a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the boiling water from the pot.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the pot of boiling water as the label directs for al dente; add the broccoli in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and broccoli and return to the pot over medium-low heat. Add the bacon and stir to coat. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened and coats the pasta but the eggs are not scrambled, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cheese and all but 2 tablespoons of the scallions. Stir in enough of the reserved cooking water to make a creamy sauce. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with the reserved scallions and more cheese.

Steps:

• Set up a steamer basket in a 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water to come up to the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets to the basket, cover and cook until the broccoli is soft and nearly falling apart but still holds its shape, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and gently toss; season with salt and pepper, then mash.
• Cook the spaghetti according to label directions, then reserve 1 cup cooking water and drain.
• In a large skillet, cook the garlic in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil for 30 seconds. Add the mashed broccoli, the Parmesan and half of the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring, until saucy. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with the spaghetti, adding more cooking water as needed.

Steps:

• Add the broccoli florets to a large pot of boiling, salted water and cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Remove the florets from the pot, reserving the cooking water. Stop the cooking process by shocking them in the ice water. Remove the florets and pat dry.
• Add the spaghetti in the same pot of water. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the oil, sliced broccoli stems, red pepper flakes and garlic to a large skillet over medium-low heat and sprinkle with salt. Cook until the garlic is lightly toasted and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the florets, toss to coat and warm through.
• Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink, and add the pasta to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high. Toss the ingredients and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serve.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil, garlic, and pepper flakes over medium heat until fragrant. Once the garlic has turned golden in color, remove it from the pan. You are left with garlic-infused oil in the pan. Add the broccoli to the pan.
• Cook's Note: Be sure the broccoli is completely dry before tossing it into the pan.
• Toss the broccoli to coat with the oil. Season with salt and pepper and saute over medium heat until the broccoli barely loses some of its crunch, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to high and deglaze the pan with the red wine vinegar. Add a few tablespoons of water, if needed.
• Cook's Note: Use pasta water if the pasta was made fresh.
• Add in the pasta and toss to coat with the oil. Top with Parmesan cheese for serving.

Steps:

• In a large pan, cook bacon slices till crisp, drain and then crumble. (I find that if I cut the bacon up into small pieces prior to cooking, then you don't have to worry about crumbling hot bacon.).
• Return bacon to pan after crumbling, and add onion and garlic.
• Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in spaghetti sauce and heat to boiling. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
• Add broccoli florets to spaghetti noodles for the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain pasta and broccoli. Toss well with the sauce, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Cut florets and parts of broccoli stems into bite-size pieces.
• In a large skillet, saute broccoli with garlic, oil, butter, salt, pepper, and cayenne over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until just tender, stirring frequently.
• Place hot pasta in a serving dish; top with broccoli mixture.
• Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Cook pasta as directed and drain well.
• Thaw broccoli and drain well.
• Melt butter in 10 inch fry pan add onion and cook for 10 min on medium heat, add broccoli and mix well.
• Slice Velveeta cheese.
• Grease bottom on 13x9 pan with butter.
• Put 1/2 cooked pasta in bottom of pan top with 1/2 Velveeta cheese slices add 1/2 mixture of broccoli.
• Add remaining pasta,and broccoli then top with remaining cheese.
• Pour milk over top and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
• Bake 350°F for 40-45 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti in large saucepan as directed on package, omitting salt and adding broccoli to the boiling water for the last 2 min.
• Meanwhile, heat dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add shrimp and garlic; cook and stir 3 to 4 min. or until shrimp turn pink.
• Drain spaghetti mixture; return to pan. Add shrimp mixture and cheese; mix lightly.

Steps:

• Heat the water for your pasta while you prepare the broccoli.
• In a shallow, 10-inch saute pot, heat the 1 cup olive oil over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Add the broccoli to the oil and season it with salt. Saute the broccoli for about 4 minutes, or until it takes on a toasty color. The broccoli will absorb a lot of the oil, so if you find your pot getting dry, just add a little more oil to it. Throw in the garlic and cook for about another minute, until it's slightly brown. Don't burn the garlic! Take the broccoli off the heat and set it aside.
• Prepare the penne according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and toss it in the pot with the broccoli, garlic, and olive oil. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.
• Toss in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stir, and garnish with the parsley.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water cook rigatoni or fusilli pasta with one tablespoon of oil until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan melt butter or margarine. Stir in flour and milk and whisk until mixture boils and thickens. Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic salt, nutmeg, thyme and grated Cheddar cheese and stir until blended.
• Add cooked broccoli and drained pasta to cheese sauce. Mix well. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with grated Swiss cheese.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees C(175 degrees C) for 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a large skillet and heat.
• Add the minced garlic and cook slightly (do not brown the garlic).
• Add the frozen broccoli and cook about 8 minutes stirring occasionally, adding a little water now and then to make steam so that the broccoli cooks.
• If you are adding chicken, add it now.
• Add butter, salt, pepper, and the cooked pasta.
• Serve with Parmesan cheese at the table.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add spaghetti and bring the water back to a rolling boil. Cook pasta until al dente; drain well.
• Combine broccoli, mushrooms, butter, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder and basil in a large saucepan. Heat the mixture over a low heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms and broccoli are hot.
• Place the spaghetti and the hot mixture in a large serving dish, toss lightly before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling salted water, according to packet instructions. Cut the broccoli into small florets, thinly slice the thick stalks and throw into the pan of pasta for the last 3 minutes of cooking time.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan, add the anchovies and chillies and fry briefly. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes until the crumbs are crunchy and golden.
• Drain the spaghetti and return to the pan. Toss with three quarters of the crumb mixture, some salt and pepper and another 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Serve each portion sprinkled with the remaining crumbs.
