Broccoli Siciliano - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs broccoli florets (fresh)
1/2 lb small shell pasta
1 cup fresh mushrooms
1 cup tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup butter (you can decrease to 1/4 cup if desired)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper

Preparation

Boil pasta in salted water to cover about 5 minutes and add the broccoli for the last couple minutes(I like my broccoli in this dish cooked until almost mushy).
Add pasta and cook until al dente.
Drain off about TWO THIRDS of the water (Keep the rest, about 1/2-1 cup, since this makes the sauce. I recommend using the first 1/2 and see if it's the desired consistency, and if more liquid is needed, add the other half cup).
Add mushrooms, tomatoes, and parmesan, oregano, butter, salt and pepper.
Cook 2 to 3 minutes until blended.
Makes 6 side dish servings.
Note: you can double this recipe.
