Healthy Broccoli and Tomato Pasta

Ingredients
 

  • about 2 cups chopped broccoli
  • about 2 cups tomatoes, depending on their size (I like cherry for this) I will cut them in half or in quarters
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 1/2 pound gluten-free pasta
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • parmesan for topping

Instructions
 

  • Cut the broccoli and tomatoes into bite-size pieces.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in the olive oil and butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, add in the broccoli with a sprinkle of salt and allow the broccoli to cook for a few minutes to soften and even start to char slightly.
  • Add in the tomatoes with another sprinkle of salt and stir to combine.
  • Let the tomatoes cook with the broccoli until the juices of the tomatoes release and become like a sauce.
  • Add in the chickpeas and the pasta and cook everything together for a few minutes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top with freshly grated parmesan and serve hot!
