Serve with: Garlic bread and green salad. Take advantage of the wide array of frozen vegetables available in supermarkets. They offer no-muss, no-fuss preparation and are inexpensive and handy to have on hand. For a change, try one of the varieties of mixed vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb linguine or fettuccine
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, (about 8 oz/250 g)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese

Preparation

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to pot, reserving 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the cooking water.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic and hot pepper flakes, stirring often, until light golden, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli; cover and cook for 4 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook, stirring, until broccoli is tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add parsley, salt and pepper; toss to combine.

Add broccoli mixture to pasta; toss to coat, adding enough of the reserved cooking water to moisten. Serve sprinkled with Asiago cheese.
