3 CHEESE PASTA WITH BROCCOLI

2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1/2 lb. broccoli, flowerets only
1/3 c. whipping cream
1/2 lb. angel hair pasta
1/4 lb. Swiss cheese, grated
4 tbsp. Romano cheese, grated
3 tbsp. Mizithra cheese, grated
Fresh-ground pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish

 

Sauté the garlic in the oil until it just begins to brown. Add the yellow onion and the broccoli flowerets (i.e., the tops of the spears), and sauté until the broccoli is barely tender. Add the cream and pepper. You may add salt if you wish.

In the meantime, cook the angel hair pasta for just a few minutes in salted boiling water. Watch this carefully because the pasta cooks in very little time. Drain the pasta and toss with the three cheeses. Add the cream and the vegetables. Toss and serve.

You may wish to garnish this with more cheese on top. Some parsley might be nice as well. Serves 3 or 4.
