Penne with Broccoli & Ricotta - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Kevin and Charla
Just before the pasta has finished cooking, toss the broccoli into the pot: You won’t have to boil more water, and they’ll both be done at the same time.

Ingredients
Coarse salt
1 1/2 cups penne or other short pasta (2 ounces)
2 cups broccoli florets
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small red onion, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, room temperature
Instructions
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add penne, and cook 2 minutes less than package instructions for al dente; add broccoli. Cook 2 minutes or until penne is al dente and broccoli is bright green. Reserving 1/2 cup pasta water, drain pasta and broccoli; set aside.
In the same pan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until onion is tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add pasta water as needed to help loosen any browned bits from bottom of pan.
Add penne and broccoli, and cook until warmed through; season with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta mixture to a serving dish. Top with ricotta; season with salt and pepper.
