Broccoli Spaghetti

Directions

1. 1
   Chop the broccoli fine and add it to a sauce pan.
2. 2
   Add garlic, olive oil, pepper and the water and bring to a boil.
3. 3
   Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
4. 4
   Break up the broccoli as it cooks so that the end result is a mushy, slightly chunky green sauce.
5. 5
   You may need to add more water or oil to keep it at a 'wet', pourable consistency if the liquid evaporates too quickly. You basically want it to be the thickness of a tomato pasta sauce. Add salt to taste; I only add the salt at the end, because if you do so earlier on, the saltiness may become more intense when the mixture reduces.
6. 6
   Serve over cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle with parm if desired.
