Pasta with broccoli is a dish I recommend preparing after the previous night’s feasts, maybe after a dinner with friends, and so the next day’s lunch will be based on vegetables, don’t you think?
I propose pasta with broccoli, it can be prepared quickly if we don’t count the vegetable cooking time, which takes a few more minutes, but we can also prepare that a little in advance and have it ready for lunch!!
I especially prepare these dishes for my husband, who loves these combinations.
Often at lunch, I tend to make main courses where I don’t have to think about the second course, well in this case, the main and side dishes are all set, don’t you think?
If you happen to make this or other recipes from my blog, feel free to send me your photos and I’ll put them on my fb page in your name.
