Angel Hair Pasta with Broccoli and Herb Butter

This is a great light-tasting pasta dish.  I found it on epicurious.com  I made it just like they suggested and it came out great.  I served it with Salmon Patties which turned out well.  I'll put the recipe below or you can get it at the link above.

Angel Hair Pasta with Broccoli and Herb Butter

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted European-style butter, room temperature

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

1 garlic clove, minced

2 teaspoons olive oil

8 ounces angel hair pasta

2 cups small broccoli florets

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:

Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl.

Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add pasta and cook until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add broccoli and boil until pasta is tender but still firm to bite and broccoli is crisp-tender, about 1 minute longer. Drain pasta and broccoli; transfer to large serving bowl. Add herb butter and toss well to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing Parmesan cheese separately if desired.

ENJOY!
