Ingredients:
4 ounces pasta ( Fusili works best!)
1/2 cup broccoli florets
2 -2 1/2 cups water
3 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 medium onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
salt
pepper
parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions:
Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Add pasta and cook for about 5-8 minutes.
Stir in broccoli and cook 5-8 minutes more, or until pasta is al dente.
Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the water.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan and saute the chopped onion until translucent.
Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the pasta-broccoli water.
Cover the saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
Uncover, increase the flame to high, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the most of the water has evaporated.
Remove from heat and season with basil, parsley and oregano.
Stir in the cooked pasta-broccoli mixture and mix well to coat.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve hot!
