Loved it my daughter & I ate most of it ourselves. It figures that on the day I go to get red peppers...they have none. I used 1 yellow & 1 orange pepper it looked wonderful! I did use double olive oil YUM! Some may not consider this a "meal" but worked great as a nice light side dish I'll also put it in my lunch rotation. Thanks Chris!!

Molle888 - Great go to recipe when you want something light and fast! Agreed there is not enough "sauce" for a pound of pasta. I also add 1/2 red pepper flakes to kick it up. I do substitute chicken broth/white wine for the veggie broth. I've even thrown in grill boneless chicken breast at the end for additional protein. Try it cold with cubes of mozzerella cheese and grape tomatoes for a side dish!

I added more olive oil and butter and it still was a little dry. I also added 4 cloves garlic--next time I will add 5. My husband who is a meat and potatoes man liked this. Will make again just adding more oil or maybe some chicken broth.

I made this last night for dinner along with garlic herb marinated chicken and a salad and it went well together. My family does not like red bell peppers so I took that out and next time I will use twice as much broccoli. I had to use more olive oil since it was dry. It turned out good and I will make it again.

The flavors in this dish are great together. I blanched the broccoli in the microwave for about half as much time as the recipe suggests so it wouldn't be limp and overdone after sauteeing. One could also simply add it to the pasta pot for the last few minutes of cooking. I used a Romano parmesan cheese blend for the cheese for more flavor than parmesan alone. Next time I'll change the proportions to more veggies less pasta as a good way to get more vegetables into my diet. PS I just noticed that a reviewer didn't like it but didn't use any red pepper. Well duh that's about 1/3 of the dish ingredients people!

Nothing too special.. I didn't add peppers because my mother is allergic to them; the linguini with the brocolli was too boring. There should have definetly been some sauce in there. Meatball sauce perhaps. Otherwise its a filler and VERY QUICK!

I found this dish under the side dish area and it suprises me that a few people think it's meant to be a main dish. I did make a few changes to the recipe I used spaghetti noodles and added in yellow squash and some fire roasted tomato cabernet marinara sauce. It was very good and simple to make.

Very good dish! I have made this many times with whole grain spaghetti (for a little bit of a healthier version). I have served this with grilled chicken and also with salmon mixed in and it was wonderful! I have also added other veggies like zucchini....Thank you for sharing!!

I'm sorry but this was BORING! Others have stated to increase the oil/butter to equally spread over the lb of noodles which is what I did but I would think that 1/2 cup of chicken broth or white wine would have been a much better option. It wasn't that it tasted bad but basically this meal was just butter oil noodles and broccoli. I think it put my tatse buds to sleep. Thanks anyways.
