Easy Weeknight Dinner: Broccoli Pasta

It's back to school time! Which means new schedules and tighter timelines; back to running between activities and trying to get everything done and everyone to bed on time; and back to needing easy, nutritious dinners that everyone will eat...bonus points for ones that make good leftovers! So, as we all get back into the swing of things, I thought I'd share a quick and easy weeknight dinner recipe. I made this one last night and we gobbled it up! You can make it with just the pasta and broccoli, or you can add some extra protein with either chickpeas or chicken. (I added chickpeas. If you want to make it with chicken you can use chopped, leftover chicken or shredded rotisserie.) Simple. Yummy. Nutritious. Not known for my beauty food shots; but trust me, it's good. Broccoli Pasta 1 package shape pasta of your choice (I used gluten-free penne) 1 head of broccoli cut into bite size pieces 1/4 cup olive oil 2 heaping tsps minced garlic 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
