I‘ve been in a bit of a cooking slump lately, so I thought I’d try something new. My best friend, Holly, cut this recipe out of the Washington Post about a year ago and sent it to me. The hubby and I are huge fans of broccoli, and the walnuts are a nice compliment. Serve with a salad and some crusty bread and you’re set!
Angel hair pasta
2 broccoli crowns
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped in half
8 oz ricotta cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
Place walnuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes, tossing often. In a medium bowl, mix broccoli florets, garlic and 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil; toss to coat. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, until broccoli is cooked through.
In a large bowl, mix broccoli, ricotta, walnuts and angel hair, stirring to combine. Serve immediately.
