My late Nonna made a pasta and broccoli that we will forever talk about and remember. It was the saltiness and garlickyness of the broth, and the finely chopped broccoli, that was not quite a soup but not quite a pasta dish. Thankfully it was really easy to recreate considering she doesn't have any recipes with measurements written down anywhere. Her rice balls? Forget about it - I don't think we'll ever be able to tackle those. But for now, here is one of our childhood favorites from my late Nonna!

  1. In a medium or large pot, add broccoli, broth, water, salt, pepper and garlic.
  2. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. Mash the broccoli so its in small pieces but there is still texture.You don’t want it to be smooth!
  4. Leave large and small pieces.
  5. Stir in your pasta and cook uncovered for 12 minutes until cooked.
  6. Stir frequently so nothing sticks.
  7. Add more seasonings for taste and serve on its own, or with grated parmesan!
