This is a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies!

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, pepper to taste
Directions:
  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet saute onions and mushrooms in olive oil until tender, stirring occasionally (~10 minutes on medium heat).
  3. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook 1-2 more minutes (be careful not to burn the garlic).
  5. Add broccoli to the skillet and cook until tender. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
