Preparation:
In a skillet, heat olive oil over low heat until warm; stir in garlic, basil oregano, salt, and red pepper; cook, stirring, until garlic is soft, about 5 minutes (do not let garlic brown). Meanwhile, in a pot of boiling water, cook pasta and broccoli until tender. Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Place pasta in a large bowl. Toss with garlic mixture, reserved cooking water, and pepperoni. Sprinkle with cheese. |
