Vegetarian broccoli pasta

IMG_20170123_150737

This is a very quick and delicious pasta! The time the pasta (unless it is fresh pasta, which needs to boil a lot less) needs to boil to get al dente is all the time you need to prepare the sauce.
Ingredients:
1 medium size broccoli
2 cloves of garlic
pasta of your choice
Padano or Parmazano cheese
creme fraiche 120 gr
salt and pepper
olive oil

Clean and finally, chop the garlic cloves
Grate the cheese about 100 to 150 grams (or more), it depends how cheesy you like your sauce
IMG_20170123_145822When the water is boiling you add the pasta and loosen it with a fork so that it does not stick together.
Put a good splash of olive oil in a frying pan and when this is heated you add the broccoli and the garlic and a little bit of water.You don't want the broccoli to burn. You sprinkle the broccoli with salt and pepper to taste and put a lid on the frying pan.
Check the broccoli after approximately 5 minutes as you don't want it overcooked, but still a little bit crunchy. You now add the creme fraiche and the grated cheese.
When the pasta is ready (al dente) you take it out of the water and mix it in the frying pan with the broccoli sauce. Serve and enjoy!
