4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 ounces Dry rotini or other short
Pasta twists
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 medium Red onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves Garlic, minced
2 mediums Stalks broccoli, cut into
Bite size pieces
1 large Red bell pepper, coarsely
Chopped
¾ teaspoon Oregano, dried
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
1 cup Half and half
½ cup Parmesan, grated

Directions

Cook pasta until al dente, according to package directions.

Meanwhile in a large skillet, warm 1 Tbs of oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently until onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add the remaining 1 Tbs of oil to skillet. Add broccoli, bell pepper, oregano, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Stir fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the half and half and the parmesan until combined. Reduce heat to medium, bring to a simmer, and cook stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain pasta and transfer it to a large serving bowl. Add broccoli sauce, toss to coat and serve.
