@J. C. 🤣😅😂

The best
Delicious 🤤👍🏻🙋🏼♀️
Love this idea! I already have some pasta and marinara! I just need some broccoli and I’ll swap out the sausage for hamburger I already have
😋👍🏻
People underestimate broccoli or are just weird vegetable phobes. Broccoli hold sauce so well and has nice texture.
@Erihppaseiram what about celery?celery is the only green I can think of right now that I could see having an offputting smell lol maybe green onions, idk.
@Leedle Lee I have no problem with celery. Nah, when I was young, like 6, I was placed in a health camp for kids with abusive parents and they served us broccoli every single day for 6 weeks. The memories of that place are awful, if we were naughty, they put us in the cupboard under the stairs with no light for 5 minutes, I’m still afraid of confined space and the dark even at 32. Broccoli is just this big trigger for me, it’s so weird 😂

@Erihppaseiram so it’s not so much that you hate broccoli 🥦 , but more so you hate the traumatic memory connected to it
Wtf brocoli sauce

What good is one clove of garlic
Hello guiada, my name is Nancy , I’m from Argentina
You cook excellent and you give me a lot of ideas in the kitchen!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
I’m not overly fond of broccoli with red pasta sauce. To me they clash in texture and taste, so I’ll be swapping out the broccoli for cauliflower florets or baked brussel sprout halves.
Looks amazing I looks your pan u cooked in
I like how the veggie 🥦 was thrown in. Make it good for you and kid friendly Giada 😉.
oh yummmyyyyyy!
