A great healthful pasta dish when you want something other than a tomato sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shitake mushroom caps
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  4. Meanwhile, cut brocolli florets into bite-sized pieces and steam.
  5. Combine vegetable broth, mushrooms, pine nuts in skillet and bring to a quick boil.
