love the splendid table, love broccoli

Posted by Meg

I love Lynne Rossetto Kasper like nobody’s business. I love her voice, her attitude on life, on eating, on pleasure. She’s fantastic. I subscribe to her Weeknight Kitchen emails and try to listen to the Splendid Table podcast every week.

This morning I was pleasantly greeted with a really easy recipe for broccoli pasta.

I’m a big fan of cooking vegetables in with pasta. This one cooks the broccoli and the pasta together. I’ve got another Martha Stewart recipe that flash cooks onions with the pasta water. It just gives everything such a nice flavor, and you don’t have to get crazy with the heavy sauces.

Brocc: hamsters love it, so should you.
