Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1 large head broccoli (1/2 pound)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded (2 cups)
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
- Cook the spaghetti according to the label directions and drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, cut off the broccoli stalk, peel it, and thinly slice it crosswise. Cut the remaining broccoli into small florets. Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, broccoli, and half the salt and cook until the garlic is lightly browned and the broccoli is fork-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the pasta, the shredded chicken, the reserved pasta water, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and toss well. Drizzle with the remaining oil before serving.
