1 lb penne

2 heads broccoli / 1 pound broccoli, chopped

2-3 glugs of olive oil

10 large cloves garlic, sliced thin

1 stick butter, or less

½ cup grated parm, plus more for serving.

Have your broccoli and garlic cut and prepped first.

Boil water and add the penne and salt.

Heat your largest skillet on medium.

Pour the oil in a large skillet and add the garlic slices until they just start to brown

Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook until tender but firm, adding pats of butter as you go plus some salt. You'll need about 2 tablespoons of butter for the pasta.

Add the butter and penne to the broccoli and serve.
