Answer 5

I would cook it, add cooked carrots, cauliflower and maybe some peas, mix with melted cheese and eat. Sounds foul, but a good way of using leftover vegetables, (I'm a student, we have to find some way of using them!) and tastes nice. Especially when you add some buttered brown bread or use the veg fresh to dip in the cheese!

Answer 6

Take fresh brocoli.  Rinse.  Cut into bit size pieces. Eat with or without veggie dip.

Answer 7

I chop up the broccolets parts & put them in a bowl with some chopped cauliflower & put some onion in & some mayonnaise, add a little vinegar...You can also add some craisens (cranberry raisins) it is probably going to taste better the next day Oh, I put some sugar in it & mix it up well.or you can take some purple seedless grapes & but them in half & add them

    * penne pasta

    * lemon

    * Parmesan cheese

    * butter

    * fresh broccoli

    * onion

    * garlic

    * chicken sausage

Start by putting a little olive oil in a pan & cooking the chicken sausage until browned. Add some chopped onion (I added about half an onion) & a couple cloves of minced garlic, cook until fragrant & onions are translucent. Meanwhile start cooking pasta til al dente & drain, set aside. Next add some cut broccoli to the sausage mixture & cook until broccoli is slightly softened. Add in a tablespoon or so of butter so add some creaminess to the mixture. Add a little salt/pepper, squeeze a 1/2 lemon & some Parmesan cheese over the top before serving and call it dinner…
