Festive Fusilli


From Good Housekeeping

This holiday-hued pasta dish delivers cancer-fighting lycopene in the tomatoes, roasted for extra benefit and sweetness. Broccoli adds a dose of heart-healthy fiber and vitamins.

INGREDIENTS
12 ounce(s) fusilli or rotini pasta
1 bag(s) (12 ounces) broccoli florets
1 pint(s) grape tomatoes
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed with side of chef's knife
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1/4 cup(s) grated Pecorino Romano cheese

DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat large covered saucepot of salted water to boiling on high. Add pasta and cook as label directs, adding broccoli when 3 minutes of cooking time remain.
  2. Meanwhile, in bowl, toss tomatoes with garlic, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread tomato mixture in 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan, and roast 15 minutes or until tomatoes wrinkle and begin to burst, stirring halfway through cooking time.
  3. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water; drain pasta and broccoli. Add reserved pasta cooking water to jelly-roll pan, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Return pasta and broccoli to saucepot; stir in tomato mixture, Romano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
