Pasta And Broccoli - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. medium pasta shells
Italian olive oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan)
1 head fresh broccoli, cut up in bite-size pieces
3 qt. water
6 garlic cloves, cut up
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
garlic powder (to taste)
parsley (to taste)
1 tsp. oregano

Preparation

In a six-quart pan, saute the garlic in oil at medium heat for one minute (not until golden).
In a separate pan, cook the broccoli in three quarts of water for 5 or 6 minutes.
Remove the broccoli from the water.
Take the water from the broccoli and pour it into the pan that has the garlic and olive oil.
Season the water with salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley and oregano.
Put the broccoli in the pan and cook again at medium to low heat for 30 minutes.
At that point, start cooking the pasta in salted water in a separate pan.
Cook both for 15 minutes (the pasta will be al dente).
Drain the pasta.
Pour the broccoli and broth over the pasta and serve.
Serves eight.
