Ingredients

1 pound shells pasta
4 stalks broccoli
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
small chunk romano cheese (Locatelli)
to taste red pepper flakes
to taste salt & pepper

We bring some water to a boil and add the pasta. We cooks for 9 minutes, per the directions on the box.

Meanwhile, in our dutch oven, we heat the olive oil. We add the garlic, broccoli cheese, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. We saute for a few minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the broccoli to become tender and bright green.

As the pasta is cooking, we add some of the water to the broccoli to make it a little soupy. We drain the pasta when it is al dente in the colander. We serve it with the broccoli and some grated Locatelli.
