How to make Broccoli and Tomato Pasta Dinner
When cooking pasta, you need garlic! It is that simple. Garlic is a very flavorful spice. Cook the garlic first in the olive oil and always before adding your noodles. The flavors of the garlic will saturate the noodles and make them more appetizing.
Leftover pasta water is a must to use when you are not adding any sauce to your pasta. The water will keep the pasta moist and will also help you create a smooth sauce. After straining your pasta, you may need about 1 to 2 cups of water noodles depending on the recipe.
This recipe is straightforward and easy to make. You can use whatever noodles you want and your favorite veggies. As far as spices, always use fresh garlic. For an added kick, use Noubess Hot and Spicy Original with Herbs Blend to give your pasta a delicious taste. And don’t worry about it being hot and spicy. You only need 1/4 teaspoon for flavor. But you can always add more if you want that hot and spicy kick.
