Directions

Step one
Microwave broccoli according to package directions.

Pour water into a large nonstick skillet; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in pasta and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 5 minutes.

Stir in butter and garlic, and continue cooking uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, until water is mostly absorbed, and pasta is nearly al dente, stirring frequently.
