Pasta with Broccoli and Marinara

1: Bring a large sauce pan with water and salt to a boil.

2: Mince garlic and prepare broccoli by washing it and cutting it into large florets.

3: Blend a can of San Marzano DOP in a blender for 5 seconds until mostly pureed.

4: In a deep pan, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

5: Add in pureed tomatoes and bring to a bubble. Once bubbling, reduce heat to low/simmer and allow to cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6: At the halfway mark of your sauce cooking, add pasta to boiling water.

7: After a minute or so, add in broccoli florets and allow to cook together until pasta is al dente.

8: Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta and broccoli. Add to sauce and mix well.

9: Add some pasta water (1/2 cup at a time) until desired sauce consistency is met.

10: Top with parmigiana reggiano cheese and enjoy.
