Broccoli Farfale with Garlic

Great side dish with any meal you make. Simple but rich. Enjoy Gandy


1 pound bag Farfalle (Bowtie) Pasta.
3 cups chopped Broccoli
1 stick butter
1.2 cup olive oil
2 TBLS minced garlic
1/4 cup Parmesean cheese
1.2 cup green olives (Mince in food processor)
1.2 cup roasted red peppers

In a large pot, boil your bowtie noodles in Salted water until almost done (5 minutes remaining) throw the Broccoli into the water and finish cooking. If you add the broccoli earlier it will be mushy.
In a saute pan, melt the butter with the olive oil then add the garlic, minced olives and red pepper. Sautee for 3-4 minutes stirring constantly, DO NOT SCORCH.

Drain Pasta and Broccoli, do not cool down, put into a large bowl, pour Butter/Garlic oil mix on top and sprinkle in Parmesean cheese as you stir. Salt and pepper to taste. YUM!

Throw in some slivered almonds if you like for texture.
