Serves: 3
Ingredients
  • 1 head broccoli, chopped into florets
  • 3 tsp olive oil, divided
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Toss the broccoli with 2 teaspoon of olive oil and season to taste. Lay out in one layer on a pan.
  3. Remove the papery skin of the garlic, keeping the head intact. Cut off the top, about ¼ inch, so that the cloves are exposed. Pour on remaining teaspoon of olive oil and wrap completely in foil.
  4. Roast the broccoli for 30 minutes and the garlic for 40-45 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package.
  6. After the garlic is ready, remove the cloves from the skin. In a small bowl, combine the roasted garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
  7. Toss to coat the pasta. Add the broccoli and scallions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
  8. Serve hot or cold. Store in a container in the fridge for 3 days.
Notes
*This dish can be made in installments. Simply store the sauce in a jar or airtight container in the fridge. If you plan to serve the noodles cold, then you can make the broccoli ahead of time, too, keeping it in the fridge for a few days until you're ready. If you plan to serve the noodles warm/hot, I don't recommend making the broccoli ahead of time, as reheated roasted broccoli isn't as good.
