Broccoli with Orecchiette

Step 1

Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally to keep the pasta from sticking, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Set the pasta aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; sauté until golden, stirring to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and reserved cooking liquid; cook, stirring, until the broccoli is tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, and season with pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Add the reserved pasta to the pan, and toss well to coat. Transfer to 4 serving bowls; drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, and garnish each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons grated cheese.
