Ingredients

    4 oz. (2 Cans) Fillets of Anchovies
    1 box 14oz Barilla Plus Penne
    1/4 Cup Olive Oil
    4 Cups Cooked Broccoli Florets
    4 Cloves Garlic (chopped)

Tips

Do not overcook pasta. Pasta has a higher glycemic index the longer it cooks. Not to mention nobody likes mushy pasta.

A variation would be to use a different vegetable or to add a lean protein like chicken breast or shrimp.


Directions

1. Cook pasta until it is Al Dente (don't cook too long)
2. Heat Olive oil in a frying pan and saute Chopped garlic. Be careful not to burn garlic.
3. Add the anchovy and break up the large pieces. Saute until you see that the anchovy has melted into the sauce.
4. In a large pasta bowl, combine penne with broccoli florets. Pour garlic/anchovy sauce over this and lightly coat everything.
5. Add fresh ground pepper to taste and serve.
