Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, adding broccoli last 8 minutes of pasta cook time.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute or until fragrant. Add undrained tomatoes, beans, vinegar and red pepper; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Drain pasta mixture, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Return pasta and broccoli to saucepan. Add tomato mixture, salt and pepper; toss to coat. If pasta mixture is too dry, add the reserved cooking water, 1/2 cup at a time, until sauce reaches desired consistency.

Cook's Tip

If you don't have balsamic vinegar on hand, try red wine vinegar instead. To replace the fresh garlic with garlic powder, use 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for the 4 cloves.
