\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1 bunch of broccoli ( about 1 1\/2 lbs)
\n1\/4 c. olive oil or less
\n4 garlic cloves, chopped
\nsalt and pepper to taste
\n1\/4 tsp red pepper flakes
\n3 c. warm water
\n1\/2 lb pasta
\n1\/3 c. freshly grated romano or parmesan cheese, plus more for garnis<\/p>\n

Cut off and discard about 1\/2 inch of the end of the broccoli stem. \u00a0Cut the broccoli into flowerettes. \u00a0Trim the tough leaves, cut the stems into large dice. Set all aside<\/p>\n

Heat the oil in a heavy sauce pan. \u00a0Add the garlic, s&p and red pepper flakes. \u00a0saute slowly on low heat until the garlic is lightly browned.<\/p>\n

Remove the pan from the burner and gently pour in the warm water to start the sauce. \u00a0Let the water and oil misture boil briskly for a minute, then add the broccoli. \u00a0Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. \u00a0Add more s&p and red pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

Cook the pasta, reserve some of the cooking liquid. \u00a0Put the drained pasta in a large skillet and pour the cooked broccoli sauce on top. \u00a0sprinkle with the grated cheese, cover and simmer for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. \u00a0Or to make it the peasant-style add the cooked pasta to the pan of broccoli, toss a couple of times until well mixed, then serve. \u00a0Sprinkle each serving with more cheese.<\/p>\n
