3/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2 Meanwhile, in a food processor, finely chop the garlic. Add the onion and coarsely chop. Remove to a plate and set aside.
3 Separate the broccoli tops from the stems. Cut the stems and tops into bite-size pieces. In the food processor, coarsely chop the bell pepper.
4 Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes, or according to package directions.
5 Meanwhile, in a large skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic-onion mixture and stir-fry until browned, about 5 minutes.
