Angel Hair with Oil, Garlic and Broccoli
8 ounces angel hair pasta 1/4 cup olive oil 3 large cloves of garlic, minced Grated Parmesan cheese, optional Crushed Red Pepper, optional
Cook a package of broccoli flowerets in the microwave. Break them into small pieces.
Cook the angel hair pasta in boiling water - angel hair cooks QUICKLY - don't overcook.
Add the minced garlic to the oil and heat till warm. Do not overheat or the garlic will have a bad taste. Softened and warmed is perfect.
Drain the pasta. Add the pasta and broccoli flowerets to the pan with the warmed oil and garlic. Mix well.
Serve with parmesan cheese and/or crushed red pepper.
Fresh, crusty Italian or French bread is great to dip into the oil/garlic mixture.

If you're really lazy, you can buy the minced garlic in a jar - it's really not bad when in a pinch.
And, Barb, the better the olive oil, the better the whole dish. You are so right.
And if you like shrimp - throw some shrimp in - is very much like scampi - and, oh so simple to make. Smiling is contagious - try it!

I used to make this dish on Christmas eve for the whole family. I would first saute bay scallope in lots of butter and garlic, steam the broccli till bright green, cook angel hair and serve with lots and lots of grated Parmesan. It was wonderful! Marysdream Its all good!!!!!
