BROCCOLI WITH RIGATONI

8 Tbs olive oil

2 Tbs butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 bunch broccoli, separated into florets

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped

1 pound rigatoni

fresh parsley, chopped

pepper

grated cheese

In a large skillet, heat oil and butter and gently brown the garlic.  Add broccoli and stir gently until pan gets very hot.  Add chicken broth, cover, and simmer just until broccoli is al dente.

Add half the fresh basil and the drained hot rigatoni, cooked al dente, to the skillet and mix thoroughly.  Put on a hot serving dish and sprinkle with parsley, pepper, grated cheese and remaining basil.

 I love broccoli, but Matt hates it....so, I'd actually substitute asparagus in this dish for him.  I think it would work just as well.

It's a really fun cookbook.  Dom DeLuise was such a goof, and he has all kinds of great funny stories along with the recipes.....it's just a great read all the way around.
