Week 11: pickup and pasta

This week's veggies are:
radishes
cherry tomatoes
tomatoes
broccoli
eggplant
cousa squash
poblanos

Over the weekend I made one of my favorite easy pasta dishes which I got from a friend with this week's broccoli:

Penne
Broccoli florets
Pine nuts, toasted
Olive oil
Minced garlic
Crushed pepper flakes
Grated/shredded Parmesan


Boil the water for pasta. Add pasta.

When the pasta is about 3 minutes to completion, add the broccoli to the water to cook the broccoli and pasta in one pot.

When it's all done, drain, then throw back in the pot.

Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts (in a pan or in the oven)

Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan, add the garlic to cook for a few minutes, add the red pepper flakes, then eventually the toasted pine nuts.

Scoop the oil/pepper/garlic/pine nut mixture into the broccoli/pasta mixture, stir add a bit of olive oil if needed, and stir in a handful of Parmesan.
