This took us 30 minutes from prep - cook - eat - dishes....so you can't go wrong!! It is super yummy - and you can control how spicy you want it (I think I added 1/2 the thing of pepper flakes this time!) Ross is against eating meals without meat - so I think he told me about 5 times how good this would have been with steak :) I think he is right - but it would just add to the cooking time a little....or I was thinking mushrooms would be a good add in too. ENJOY!!
Serves 4
Ingredients:1lb pasta (any shape)
2 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (don't skimp on this - they add a LOT to the taste)
2 cloves garlic - minced
salt / pepper
1 head broccoli florets - cut into bite size pieces
Pinch of red pepper flakes (in my case about 4 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons walnut oil (don't necessarily need to have...)
2 tablespoon freshly grated Romano cheese
Boil pasta until tender. While this cooks - heat 1/2 olive oil in wok over high heat. Add walnuts and stir fry until lightly toasted (45 sec) - remove with a slotted spoon and put in a serving bowl. Toss with 1/2 the garlic, salt, and pepper.
Heat remaining olive oil in wok, add broccoli and red pepper flakes - stir fry until broccoli turns bright green. Add remaining garlic, more salt and pepper, and 1/3 cup water. Cover and steam until the broccoli is tender (I used a cookie sheet to cover the wok), about 3 min, uncover and continue cooking until remaining water has evaporated.
Drain pasta - toss into bowl with walnuts - and add broccoli mixture, walnut oil, and cheese.
