Put a large pot of salted water on to boil. When this is boiling, add the pasta and cook until desired doneness. In a sauté pan add a little water and blanch the broccoli.. or you can blanch it in the pasta water then remove it after 5 minutes. Drain the broccoli and set aside. While the pasta is cooking, Sauté' the onions and garlic in the olive oil until the olives are translucent. Add the basil leaves and a little salt and pepper. Add the broccoli to this and cover and let steam some more. Drain the pasta then add the ingredients together. If it seems a little dry you can add a little more olive oil. This can be eaten hot or cold! YUM!
