Ingredients
- 1 pasta, if using spaghetti, break in half
- 1 head broccoli
- 1 large can Italian Style Tomatoes
- 3 peeled and chopped garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 2 teaspoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
This is a two pot meal from my grandparents from Sicily:
1. Cut the broccoli floweretts and some stem into bite size pieces and put into large pot of cold water.
2. Put on stove and bring to boil.
3. While waiting to boil, put the Italian tomatoes and spices in a pot.
4. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes covered.
5. This is a basic Marinara sauce.
6. You can add any other spices at this time, even red wine.
7. When the broccoli and water starts to boil, pour the pound of macaroni and cook until desired tenderness.
8. When macaroni is done, pour out 1/2 the water and add the Marinara sauce.
9. If any is left over, refrigerate.
10. The next day, you may need to add water since the macaroni will absorb the water.
