Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. When garlic is tender, remove from skillet and set aside. Place the broccoli and carrot in the skillet, and cook 2 minutes, just until heated through.
