Method
Cooking the Pasta
Boil the Pasta
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Preparing the Vegetables
Sauté the Garlic and Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender and tomatoes start to burst.
Combining Ingredients
Mix Everything Together
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and chopped basil. Mix until everything is evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Serving
Serve the Meal
Plate the pasta and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheese and optional toppings such as Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Serve warm and enjoy!
