Ingredients
- 1 pound pasta, any shape
- 1 pound broccoli
- 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled. Use more if desired
- 2 tablespoons best quality olive oil (optional)
- salt, as needed 
 
A delicious way to get your veggies, add bread and a green salad for a quick supper. Although
blue cheese makes an ideal flavor combination, use a different kind if preferred.
 
Directions
  • In a large pot, bring about 3 quarts water with 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. While water
    heats, break or chop broccoli heads into small pieces. (Peel and dice the stalks for a salad, or

save them for another use.)
  • When water boils, add pasta and cook according to package
    instructions. About 5 minutes before pasta will be done, add broccoli. Continue to boil until pasta
    is al dente and broccoli is cooked but not soft.
  • Drain pasta and broccoli well. Pour into a
    serving bowl and stir in blue cheese. Drizzle with olive oil, if using. Serve hot.
