BROCCOLI AND ZUCCHINI PASTA


ingredients

1 head broccoli, separated into florets
1 (8 oz.) pkg. spaghetti or ziti
5 cloves fresh garlic
1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 c. olive oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese

preparation

Steam broccoli in a small amount of water or in a steamer basket until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti.

Toss sauce with spaghetti and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Yields 6 to 8 servings.
