Even if you don't like broccoli...

...you'll probably like this. We had a bunch of broccoli that we needed to use so I found this recipe and decided to try it.

Broccoli Sauce for Pasta
4-6 servings

1 bunch broccoli, about 1 1/2 pounds
1/4 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and black pepper

1. Cut broccoli in flowerettes.
2. Peel the stems and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
3. Heat oil in pan.
4. Add garlic, salt and black pepper.
5. Slowly saute garlic until it is slightly brown.
6. Add 1/2 cup water.
7. Mix water and garlic into a sauce.
8. Let come to a boil.
9. Add broccoli, cook stirring constantly until broccoli is cooked to almost a mushy stage.
10. Add red pepper flakes.
11. Puree sauce and serve over pasta.

*Janessa's notes*
You will need to add more water as you cook it. I also added more when I pureed it. I forgot the red pepper flakes but it still turned out really well. This is also really good over rice.
