Cook Noodles
-
Steam broccoli
-
Saute olive oil, garlic, red pepper, flakes and raisins together. Add salt or pepper to taste.
-
Toast pine nuts in oven on low heat; around 250 degrees for 5-10 minutes. I’m not sure; you have to keep checking so you don’t burn them.
-
Put noodles in a nice big presentation bowl.
-
When broccoli is done, put it in the middle of the bowl and put freshly squeezed lemon juice on it.
-
Take the olive oil garlic raisin mixture and pour that in the middle of the broccoli – you get a nice presentation that way!
-
Sprinkle pine nuts on top!
-
Eat!
