To fuck or to cook?

[ltl/fb]

A pasta recipe I made tonight included broccoli that was cooked in the manner below. It was really tasty.

Preheat oven to 500

toss 8 oz broccoli florets (uh, I just cut up a head and some stem) in 2-3 Tbs oil (I used sunflower; it called for olive) and 1/2 tsp salt

Put cookie sheet/baking sheet in oven for a bit to heat it up

Put broccoli on sheet and return to oven for 5 min

Toss/turn broccoli and return to oven for 5 min

Anyway, it was good. But then, I'm into Barbara Kafka's Roasting cookbook.

The pasta was from allrecipes (the only thing that comes up if you search "broccoli feta") but I really deviated from what was there -- used orrichette (or however that's spelled), no garlic, no tomato at all, collard greens instead of spinach, about double the amount of veggies total, greek herb feta rather than plain, put the pine nuts in with the onions and greens to brown instead of toasting.
