GARLIC MARINATED BROCCOLI
Julia enjoys making this in the morning to have a head start on dinner and lunch. The cookbook says: "A fine dish that shows off the flavor of fresh-picked broccoli. Great for icebox raids."

Mix the marinade ingredients together. Steam or quickly boil broccoli only until they are tender-crisp, 2-3 minutes. Drain immediately and chill broccoli in ice water to set color and stop the cooking process. Toss the well-drained broccoli with the marinade and let flavors blend for at least 1/2 hour. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Spaghetti with Lamb, Broccoli di Cicco and Cipollini from Joseph Manzare of Globe in SF
1 pound spaghetti
1 pound ground lamb
1 1/2 pounds broccoli di cicco (cut into 1/2 inch pieces, use the stem and leaves
too!)
1 clove smashed garlic
4 large red jalapeños or 1 large red bell pepper (roasted, peeled and julienned)
6 cipollini (quartered) or 1 large onion (chopped)
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons Capricious aged goat's milk cheese (grated) or parmesan
salt and pepper to taste
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and add garlic. Cook slowly (about 3 minutes) to flavor the oil. When garlic is slightly golden brown, add cipollini and broccoli. Cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly tender. Add lamb and turn up heat to high. Season lamb with salt and pepper. When lamb becomes slightly brown and cooked through, add pepper and parsley. Mix together and let simmer for about 12 minutes or just long enough for your pasta to cook. Cook pasta in salted water. When pasta is done strain, and keep just a little of the pasta cooking liquid with the pasta. Toss the pasta into the skillet with the lamb. Add grated cheese and mix well. Eat.
