This recipe is based on a classic olive and broccoli spaghetti, but made in one pot. We added mushrooms for a little extra flavor and texture, plus some vitamin D to go along with the calcium in the broccoli. The flavor is mild, which can be helpful with picky eaters.
This pasta is really perfect with some grated parmesan cheese, but if you prefer to make it a side dish with grilled chicken, you can keep it parve.
