Linguine with Broccoli and Red Peppers

Recipe View 10 mins Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. (8-10 minutes)

Recipe View 7 mins While the pasta is cooking, steam the broccoli florets. You can use a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, or microwave with 2 tablespoons of water for 6-7 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. (5-7 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned. Add the sliced red bell pepper and sauté gently for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened. (4-5 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet with the peppers. Sprinkle with garlic salt and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the flavors have melded. (2-3 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss well to combine, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce that coats the pasta. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Remove from heat and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss again to distribute evenly. Serve immediately, with extra Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
