Brocolli Pasta

Prep Time: 15min
Cook Time : 10min
Yield : 2 adult n a toddler serving
Freezer friendly : No


My toddler serving is not in the photo as I have already put into the thermos to keep warm. Saw this recipe on pininterest yesterday and thought of giving a try today, but internet is not working at my house this morning, so I just guess...here is my steps.

Ingredients:
1 cup or 8oz pasta
1/2cup of brocolli florets 
Water and pinch of salt
Ice water
tbsp pomace olive oil
1 clove garlic, diced
1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper

Steps:
1) Bring water and pinch of salt to boil in a pot. Add pasta and brocolli florets and cook according to pasta cooking time, in my case, 8 min.
2) Drain pasta and brocolli, reserve 1 cup of the water, put pasta and brocolli into a bowl of ice water. After cool for about 1 min, drain pasta and brocolli.
3) Heat oil on wok on high heat, add garlic and fry until fragrant and starts to brown.
4) Add pasta and brocolli, then cheese, stir until combined, add salt and pepper to taste, lastly add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water.
5) Stir until all heated through, serve or keep in thermos for a warm school lunch!

Note : I would soak brocolli florets in  distilled white vinegar and water solution to remove impurities. 1 part of vinegar to 10 parts of water. Soak for 20 min and rinse with filtered water and use in cooking.
