Garlic and Olive Oil Spaghetti with Roasted Broccoli
Spaghetti cooked in sautéed garlic and broccoli stems in extra virgin olive oil and topped with roasted broccoli!
Sometime all you need is simple meal. What if simple meals are quick, healthy and delicious?? Yes, it is so possible for simple meals to be fun! This recipe is perfect example of that. Who does not like spaghetti cooked only with extra virgin olive oil, roasted garlic and dash of spices?? And who does not like garlicky roasted broccoli? Now imagine combining those 2 in one dish?!?! Yaaass, that’s what this recipe is all about!
Sautéing garlic in extra virgin olive oil brings beautiful flavor to any meals! And adding spaghetti to that roasted garlic and olive oil makes a delicious dish. Though it does not have any protein or fiber to it. So I like to add broccoli that is roasted with garlic to the spaghetti!
Garnish this garlicky spaghetti with some lemon juice and basil. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese if you are no vegan or use vegan parmesan cheese! This dish is surprisingly delicious and healthy at the same time!
My family love it very much, I hope your does too!
Happy and healthy eating!
