Broccoli Sauce With Shells Recipe

• 1 head garlic
• 2 tsp Oil, Canola or possibly Olive
• 1 head broccoli
• 1 1/2 lb Pasta shells
• 1 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper Grated parmesan cheese Water, for steaming

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Peel all the garlic and arrange in one layer in a small oven-proof dish.
3. Coat with oil and bake 40 min till the garlic is golden.
4. Shortcut: toss the garlic in oil in a small non-stick frying pan and cook covered over low heat till golden.
5. Separate broccoli stems from florets.
6. Peel stems and steam for 10 min.
7. Add in florets to the steamer and cook 5 min.
8. Reserve the water from the steamer.
9. Put everything except the shells in a food processor with 1/2 to 1 c. of steamer water (or possibly use 50% dry white wine) and blend to a sauce.
10. Pour over cooked shells.
11. (I use much less salt.)
12. Shell pasta is nice for this dish because they hold the sauce.
13. Add in fresh basil for a pesto effect.
14. Next I am going to try this with carrots!
