This simple penne rigate with broccoli is a quintessential vegetarian dish that relies on the quality of its modest ingredients. By boiling the broccoli alongside the pasta, the florets soften and break down slightly, creating a beautiful textured sauce that clings to the ridges of the penne. It is an ideal recipe for those seeking a comforting, nutritious meal that requires minimal preparation and only one large pan, making it a reliable staple for busy weeknights.
Rich extra-virgin olive oil and sharp pecorino cheese provide a savoury depth that perfectly complements the earthy flavour of the greens. This homemade pasta dish is particularly popular with students or those cooking for themselves for the first time, offering a healthy and budget-friendly alternative to shop-bought sauces. Serve it simply with an extra grating of cheese and a generous crack of black pepper.

How to make Leaving-Home Penne Rigate with Broccoli
Back to contentsBring a big pot of water to a boil. Add a good handful of salt (about 60ml ), enough that you can taste it. Set a fine strainer in the sink.
When the water comes to a boil, add the broccoli and wait until the water returns to a boil. Add the pasta and set the timer to the number of minutes recommended on the box. When the timer rings, drain the penne and broccoli in the colander, then dump them into a large serving bowl. Add the olive oil and mix well with a wooden spoon so that the pasta is coated and the bits of broccoli are well distributed throughout. Add the cheese and stir well until you have a nice, green-speckled sauce. Sprinkle with a little extra cheese, and add some pepper.
