    Never, ever discard that broccoli stem. It's the best part. Cut off outer layers to reveal tender white part. SOOOOOO good, even raw. Put on a bit of salt ... Sautee with chicken or fish ... Try it. I think you will be surprised. I used to work in a produce department ... and always saved the trimmings to take home ...

  • @satchmodog2
    @satchmodog2 2 роки тому +2

    Ok. Try this. My grandmother was from Naples and this was a peasant soup her mother also made. Throw your garlic, broccoli and salt in the water and cook the broccoli until it's soft. The water should also have a slight green hue. Now add your spaghetti broken into 2 inch pieces and cook as usual. Add a few tablespoons of olive oil at the end and thin some Parmesan in the soup bowl. I love it both ways, but I am curious if it started a a peasant soup. All Italian peasant soup is water based and of course amazing.

    • @SipandFeast
      @SipandFeast  2 роки тому +1

      Sounds great! The version you describe sounds like more of a soup. My Grandmother made a lot of those broken spaghetti peasant soup recipes. I always remember the cucuzza soup growing up. Often instead of the big cucuzza, she would use small zucchini just cubed. Reminds me, I need to make a video for that one.

    • @satchmodog2

    I enjoyed the video, well done. Personally, I would cook the broccoli in the pan with the EVOO, garlic, and a little water to steam it and help cook it. I would also peel the broccol and not waist the stem. Last but not least I'd finish cooking the pasta in broccoli for the last 4 minutes or so, so the pasta can absorb any flavors. Another thing I might do, at least to try it, would be to add the juice of half a lemon to give an interesting twist. Then I'd add fresh parmesan. Still, the way you cooked the dish looks delicious!

    You can also throw a little spoon of water in the garlic and oil, and that will stop the garlic from burning, because as long as there is water in the oil it won't go above a certain temp -- maybe 212 degrees (depending on your elevation, of course)? And this is so much more complicated for me, because I have celiac disease, and the rest of my family does not. So I have to make two types of pasta. I cook the broccoli, then my pasta -- which takes quite a while, like 8 - 12 minutes, depending on the pasta -- then their pasta. But I have to use two skillets of broccoli, one for them and one for me. It's amazing how much more complicated it is to need to make two separate pastas. I actually made this dish up all on my own back in the early 1980s. I'm sure the Italians were doing it, but I didn't know that. I lived in NYC, and worked at nights, and came home in the wee hours. I would stop at the corner store and get broccoli, garlic, and pasta! Sometimes I did mushrooms instead. Couldn't go to the supermarket at that hour, and had one of those college-sized fridges that fit under the counter, so couldn't keep much food on hand at all. One thing I do differently is I use much, much, much more garlic! And it is delicious.

    Such an underrated simple but delicious pasta dish- hard to beat it for a busy weeknight meal!

    I like using the floret crumbs, it makes a little thicker sauce.

    You lost me when your son came out to taste test!! I completely forgot about the recipe, he is so cute and honest. I will however make this because it looks delicious and simple ingredients usually make the best meals. Thanks!!!!

    Love your posts. May I suggest that you peel your broccoli. You’ll be surprised how tender it is like that.
