Broccoli and Prosciutto Pasta
Do you like pasta and don't know what other easy, healthy combinations to make? Here is one idea that looks good and tastes awesome.
This is another recipe that includes broccoli. I always try to find delicious ways to use broccoli in a meal, and to be easily accepted by my little daughters, like these amazing Broccoli Quesadillas or Broccoli Patties which were really appreciated.
As they love pasta recipes in general I decided to make pasta with broccoli, which was a real success. I am glad of all the times they eat this vegetable for its benefits.
The recipe is easy and quick, it takes no more than 15 minutes to prepare and is really delicious and healthy. It can make a perfect lunch or dinner for all the family.
