Step 1

Cook the pasta in boiling water according to package directions (4 -6 minutes for the brand I used). Drain in a colander when done.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the red pepper and stir occasionally for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for another 5 minutes or so until the broccoli is bright green. Stir occasionally to prevent the garlic from burning. You can start this step while the water is heating.

Step 3

Add the spaghetti to the pan and combine with the other ingredients. Portion on two plates and top with chopped fresh basil.
