Pasta, Potato and Broccoli

Carbohydrates UNITE! My roommate was pretty skeptical of this dish, since pasta and potatoes aren't usually served together. After she tasted it's unique and spicy taste however, all 3 leftover servings were gone the next day. The cook triumphs over her palate again.6 TBSP olive oil
1/2 tsp crushed, dried red pepper
1 small garlic clove, cut into thin slices
2 cup raditore (I used small pene)
3 cups cubed (1/2 inch) unprepared new potatoes
3 cups broccoli florets and stems cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in medium skillet; add red pepper and garlic, saute 1 minute. Meanwhile, cook pasta in plenty of boiling water for 6 minutes. Stir in potatoes and broccoli. Cook until pasta is al dente and potatoes and broccoli are tender (about 8 minutes) and drain.

Toss with red pepper oil and plenty of grated cheese! Serve at once with additional cheese on the side.
