8 ounces eggless fettucine

1 tablespoon olive oil

6 large garlic cloves -- minced, up to 8

2 tablespoons pine nuts

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or pinch of cayenne

28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes

1 bunch broccoli

This dish is perfect for a light supper. For a heartier meal, serve it

Cook the pasta according to package directions until tender. Pour off

cooking water, then rinse and drain.

 

Heat oil in a large skillet and sauté the garlic, pine nuts, and red pepper

Break or cut the broccoli into florets. Peel the stems and slice into

rounds. (You should have about 3 to 4 cups of broccoli.) Steam until

crisp tender, about 5 minutes, then add to tomatoes.
