Sesame Broccoli Pasta
Valerie Martin
Jennifer Stein Barker especially likes the flavor of whole-wheat pasta in this Indonesian-inspired vegetarian entrée. Prep and Cook Time: about 20 minutes.
How to Make It
Step 1
Rinse broccoli. Trim off leaves and stem ends. Cut crowns into 1- to 1 1/2-inch florets, and thinly slice stalks crosswise.
Step 2
In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 3 quarts water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until barely tender to bite, 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in an 11- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-low heat, stir garlic, ginger, and cumin in peanut oil until garlic is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium. Add broccoli and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook just until broccoli is tender-crisp to bite, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix coconut milk, tahini, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Add to broccoli mixture; stir often just until simmering.
Step 5
Drain pasta and return to pan. Gently stir in broccoli mixture. Spoon into a serving bowl. Serve with hot sauce, lime wedges, and salt to add to taste.

This recipe was okay, definitely needs a little more flavor! I also added in chicken that I stir fried along with the garlic and ginger. Maybe a little more of each of those would bring out the flavor in this dish!

Unfortunately I have to say this dish was pretty bland. I used lite coconut milk, tahini, and soy sauce. The hot sauce and lime juice at the end certainly helped add flavor, but not enough for me to make it again...
