Pasta with Broccoli and Avocado


1/2 lb. linguine
3 C sliced broccoli
2 T olive oil
8 - cloves garlic, minced
1/4 t grated lime zest
1/2 t crushed red pepper
1/4 C white wine
1 C vegetable stock
2 T lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
1/2 t salt
0 - ground black pepper
4 C loosely packed arugula leaves
2 - avocados, pitted and sliced

Boil the pasta in salted water for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, saute the garlic, lime zest, and crushed red pepper in olive oil in a large skillet, stirring often, for about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and raise the heat to a boil. Reduce the wine, about 2 minutes. Add the vegetable stock, lime juice, salt, and pepper, and again bring to a boil. Once the sauce is boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and add the arugula.

By this point the pasta should be almost done, so add the broccoli to the boiling pasta and cook for another minute or two. Drain into a colander.

When the arugula is wilted, add the broccoli and pasta to the pan and use a pasta spoon to toss it around, making sure to get everything coated with the garlic oil. Cook for about 3 more minutes. Add the avocado and turn off the heat, gently tossing ingredients together.

  1. A cup of vegetable stock is insane. Makes it really runny. But other than that, this is pretty good.
