Our broccoli has been growing beautifully, and this week we were able to harvest our first head to make our daughter’s favorite meal! 

Ingredients:

• 1 box rotini pasta

• 1 head broccoli

• 1 lemon

• 1 stick salted butter

• 1 tbsp minced garlic

• 1 tsp red pepper flakes

• salt & pepper

• parmesan cheese

Directions:

• Boil salted water, add pasta for 4 minutes.

• Add chopped broccoli to pasta, cover for 4 minutes.

• Meanwhile, simmer butter at low temp. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper once melted. Zest lemon directly into sauce.

• Drain pasta & broccoli. Add juice from lemon to sauce and mix directly into pasta.

• Add parmesan cheese and serve.

Easy, peasy. This 15 minute meal is delicious and easily customizable. Add a protein of choice to the top or serve it as a side dish.

Come get a head of broccoli from us this Saturday, May 17th at the Ashland Farmer’s Market & let us know what you do with it!
