Weeknight Weekend Summer Recipes Extra Virgin Olive Oil Garlic Tomatoes Al Bronzo® Organic Pasta Short

Blanched and seared broccoli, chili flakes and tomatoes paired with Al Bronzo^® Fusilloni pasta make the perfect elegant weekend meal. This recipe separates broccoli into small florets, and blanches them by placing the broccoli into boiling water for a minute, then subsequently placing the broccoli into an ice bath allowing it to maintain color, flavor and texture. The key to flavoring this dish is to allow the olive oil to take on the flavor of the aromatics. The whole peeled garlic should be allowed to pick up a hint of color before adding the chili flakes and tomatoes.
