Shells with Broccoli in a Pink Peppercorn Tomato Sauce Shells with Broccoli in a Pink Peppercorn Tomato Sauce  

Although our Easy Cooking kitchen prepared this as a side dish, you can also double the ingredients listed here to turn this into a main course with the addition of canned tuna, salmon or sardines. Pink peppercorns add a pungent, yet sweet flavor to the fresh tomatoes and toasted olive oil. If you do not have an extra pepper mill, grind the peppercorns with the back of a spoon or crush with the flat side of a knife.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
3/4 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon minced thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly milled pink peppercorns
1/2 pound medium-sized pasta shells
1/2 pound broccoli florets
 



METHOD

In a medium skillet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, heat the olive oil and sauté the shallots over medium-high until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, thyme and peppercorns. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove from heat keep warm.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente in boiling salted water and add the broccoli to the water just before the pasta is ready. Drain. Gently toss the broccoli and pasta with the sauce and serve.
