A simple recipe that is fast and easy.  This can be a very good alternative to the most common spaghetti recipe using a couple of bunch of broccoli flower and a handful of peeled prawns.  The taste is simple and every mouthful makes you eat and want for more.

Ingredients: Boiled/cooked 250grams spaghetti, broccoli flower (as mush as you like), 1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic, coarsely ground pepper, peeled prawns, olive oil, thick cream or all-purpose cream.

Half of the broccoli must be cooked until tender that it can be mashed; While half must be half-cooked (still crispy).

Procedure: Heat pan and pour olive oil.  Saute garlic until tender but not brown.  Put in the prawns and cook for few seconds.  Pour in the pre-boiled broccoli.  Mash the over-boiled broccoli; this will give more flavor to the sauce. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.  Finally, pour in the cream.  The idea is for the cream to just add thickness and a bit of creamy taste that will stick to the pasta.  Therefore, the cream should not overwhelm the sauce.  Three to five tablespoons of cream will do.

Boil pasta until cooked al dente.  Toss in with the broccoli sauce.  Enjoy!

Alternative ideas: You can also use other pasta like linguine, fussilli or tagliatelle.  The broccoli sauce can also be made without cream for those who are on diet.  It is good to serve it with more broccoli and less (just a cup) of pasta – this is already a complete meal!
