Pasta with Broccoli
Last night I spoke with Sean -- one of the coolest people I know -- and he mentioned that he missed seeing large photos with delicious recipes around here.
He just landed a huge new project, so I doubt he'll be making pasta with broccoli anytime soon, though this tasty high-protein dish is an easy one, so maybe he'll find the time.
1 (7) oz. box Papadini Rotini Hi-Protein Pure Lentil Bean Pasta
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1 head broccoli, cut into florets and steamed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
olive oil
to tasteceltic sea salt
to taste
- In a large pot, bring 12 cups of water to a vigorous boil, then add 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil and pasta
- Reduce to a slow boil, stirring frequently and cook uncovered 7-9 minutes
- Drain pasta in a steel colander
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil over a medium flame
- Add sliced onion, reduce heat and cook onion until caramelized 10-15 minutes
- Stir in broccoli florets and tomatoes and cook for another minute or two
- Dish pasta and veggies into bowls; drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with celtic sea salt

Elana,
I have a question, have you ever made your own pasta. I'd like to make my own gluten free pasta and need some pointers.
Thank you
Susie
Susie,
No I haven't tried making my own pasta. If you do make some please let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
Elana
What kind of camera do you use? Great photos!
