Step:

  1. Clean and cut broccoli into bite size pieces.

  2. Use the stem. Slice the outside and cut into bite size portions.

  3. Cut garlic. I kept whole to pick out for myself. The kids don't like whole cloves. Add the pepperoncini and olive oil to the pan. I use a lot of oil- just do what you're comfortable.

  4. Any vegetable you can eat raw, you don't want to over cook. Keep an eye and once the color deepens, remove from heat.

  5. Once golden, add broccoli.

  6. Cooking the pasta: I'm using penne as the broccoli are in bite size pieces and penne will work well. You need a large pot with about 4 quarts or more of water. Pasta likes space. Bring it to a boil. Then add a 1/2 of a handful of sea salt/ kosher salt.

  7. Once "al dente" drain and mix in the broccoli.

  8. Add Parmesan cheese. It's best to let it sit for at least an hour a room temp to make easy garnish.
