Quick Broccoli Pasta Salad
greenlitebites.com/
Serves: 4
Serving size: just over a cup
Ingredients:
4oz whole wheat rotini, uncooked
2 tbsp olive oil (28g)
1 tbsp minced garlic (I used the jarred stuff)
4 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (20g)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
14 oz bag of frozen broccoli florets
Instructions:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package.
While waiting for the water to boil, whisk the oil, garlic, cheese and pepper flakes together in a large bowl.
Once the pasta is done, ad the frozen broccoli and remove from heat.
Let it sit just for a minute.
Drain the pasta and broccoli and add it to the bowl with the oil.
Top with the Parmesan cheese.
Toss well.
Chill for about an hour.
I served it alongside the London broil. It made such a great meal we have NO leftovers!
