Penne, Sundried Tomatoes, Broccoli and Pine Nuts Dead simple easy to make. Ingredients: Whole wheat, whole grain penne pasta (read the box label!); 1 large head of broccoli (can substitute broccoli rabe, too!); 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (use fresh tomatoes in season, if you wish!); 1/4 cup pine nuts; tiny bit of olive oil (use it sparingly!); kosher salt and pepper to taste. Cut the stems off your broccoli. Get the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Boil the water for the pasta, and cook the pasta (don't over do it!). Once you toss the pasta in the water, and it has cooked for a few minutes, it's now time fire up your wok (a skillet will do, too). A little olve oil (1-2 tbsp) is all you should need. Toss the tomatoes, pine nuts and broccoli in, and cook over high heat for about 5 minutes or so. The idea is to have the broccoli al dente (not soft and mushy!). Cover the veggies while you drain the pasta. Once drained, toss the pasta in the wok, and then keep cooking just a few minutes longer, just to get the flavors mixed in with the pasta. Eat and enjoy. - Photography Reviews, How-To, and Galleries of Digital Grin
