This recipe is so ridiculously simple and wonderfully tasty that
it just might become a standard in your "I don't feel like cooking
tonight" repertoire.

1 small head broccoli, coarsely chopped
1/2 - 1 cup (125 - 250 ml) small pasta shape such as ditalini, acine di
pepe, stars,
or alphabets, cooked according to the package directions and drained
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Bring the broth to a simmer over moderate heat and add the
broccoli. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the
