Ingredients:
1 Pound broccoli crowns
1 to taste salt and pepper
1 Cup cheese, ricotta, part skim
Directions:
Put a big pot of water on to boil for the pasta.

Separate the broccoli into small trees by pulling them apart. Trim off the woody stems of your trees so you can break them up right. Put the broccoli florets (trees) into a pot and add water enough to just cover the tops. Bring the water to a boil and add 4 pinches salt to the water. The broccoli should cook about 5 minutes once the water comes to a boil. Then drain it.

When the pasta water boils, put 4 pinches of salt into the pot and add pasta. Cook to al dente, according to package directions.

Pour oil and butter into a deep frying pan and heat it up over low heat. When the butter melts, add the garlic and cook it 5 minutes. Add the broccoli to the garlic.

Drain the pasta and add to broccoli. Add the ricotta and grated cheese, and stir it all up in the big frying pan. Add a little salt and pepper and taste the pasta and trees to see how the seasoning is.
