Spaghetti with Broccoli & Garlic Recipe

• 1 lb (450 g) broccoli
• Olive oil ( about 3 fl  oz  – 75 ml)
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• Salt and pepper
• 1 pint (570 ml) water
• 12 oz (350 g) spaghetti

Method:

1. Trim the woody bits from the broccoli and then break into small florets.
2. Put the olive oil and crushed garlic in a heavy-based frying pan and fry over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.
3. When the garlic is golden but not brown, add the broccoli, the water and the spaghetti broken into 2" (5 cm) lengths.
4. Mix well and then cover the pan and cook over moderate heat for about 10 minutes – stirring occasionally so that the pasta does not stick to the pan.
5. Serve hot.
