Brocolli Pasta for kids

This is an easy breezy recipe for kids. Yummy enough for kids at heart like me as well.

Ingredients
1. Whole Grain pasta - 1 cup
2. Brocolli florets - 1 cup
3. Ricotta cheese - 1/3 cup
4. Pasta sauce - 1/3 cup ( more or less)
5. Salt & pepper - to taste
6. Grated Cheese

1. Boil the water. Once it starts boiling, add salt, pasta and cook till tender. This takes about 8 minutes.
2. Around 6 minutes of the pasta boiling, add the brocolli and let it boil.
3. In the meantime, mix the ricotta cheese and pasta sauce ( any tomato based sauce will do). You can add some parsley to this too.
4. Drain the brocolli and pasta mixture and add to the above sauce until coated well. Add salt and pepper to taste
5. Grease a baking dish and pour this mix. Sprikle with grated cheese. You could add some breadcrumbs or oats on top of this.
6. Broil in the oven till the cheese on top melts.

Enjoy!
