A light pasta recipe that is flavorful and low in
calories. If you'd like, cook cubed chicken separately
in a nonstick skillet and add to the finished dish.
-
Bring two pots of water to boil. In one, add
the pasta and cook according to the package (usually
10-12 minutes). Place a steamer basket on the
second pot. The basket should be one inch from
the water. Steam the broccoli in the covered steamer
for 5 minutes or until soft.
-
After the broccoli is finished, pour the oil
and chicken broth in a skillet and let it simmer
for a minute. Add the onion, garlic and broccoli.
Stir constantly for 5 minutes.
-
Place the pasta in a serving dish and pour mixture
over pasta. Grated Parmesan cheese can be added
for additional flavor.
