and seeded Roma tomatoes

oil, garlic and basil and let sit at room temperature for 30

be al dente (shoten time considerably if using fresh pasta. Add
broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 or 4 minutes
or until broccoli is tender.

and transfer to a large bowl. Add sauce and toss pasta and broccoli
until it is well coated. Serve with parmesan cheese. Serves 4

Without fish, this is a winner for a first course. With fish,
it's a great dinner.
