Broccoli and Pasta

Broccoli and Pasta

Ingredients
 

  • organic broccoli
  • garden rotini (the screw shaped pasta, that includes spinach, carrot, beet, and plain)
  • a shot or two of Pace mild salsa
  • 1 small bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 slices of red onion, chopped fine
 
Preparation
 



Pan broil the broccoli (chopped in florettes and peel the stem and chop)
so that it turns a dark green and stays crisp. Cook the rotini until
it is al dente. Mix in the broccoli, the salsa, chopped cilantro
and the chopped red onion. The idea is to enhance the flavors in
the commercial salsa by adding more of them from fresher sources.
It tastes good.
