Orecchiette w/ broccoli, pine nuts


This book was a gift from S+S, It's big, beautiful, and bountiful of really wonderful recipes. I've learned from this book, and hope to continue doing so. 

Lots of oil and garlic. The pasta is boiled in the broccoli pot. 

Simmering this pasta sauce was incredibly lovely, it smelled glorious and I couldn't wait to mix everything together. 

The finished product... there are leftovers for tonight and I'm hanging out for it. Will definitely put this on the list of 'to serve at dinner parties'. So, if you want to try it.. hint, hint. 



A little note about the pasta used here (for interest's sake)... 

Orecchiette



"Orecchiette (singular, orecchietta), from orecchio (ear) + etto (small)) is a kind of home-made pasta typical of Puglia or Apulia, a region of southern Italy."
&
"In China a similar type of pasta is called maoerdo (cat's ears)."
