Broccoli Penne

The easiest week night dinner, and my kids eat THIRDS of this stuff. It seriously takes me 15 min. to make.
  • 1 cup vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crushed
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups broccoli flowerets
  • 4 1/2 cups hot cooked penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (I like fresh squeezed as opposed to the bottled stuff)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Mix broth, basil, pepper, garlic and broccoli in skillet. Heat to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 3 minutes or until broccoli is tender-crisp.Add pasta and lemon juice. Toss to coat. Serve with cheese.
