La pasta ai broccoli

Today I am cooking a recept that I have learned from Edo, a great friend of mine. For 2 persons you will need

250g of short pasta (tortiglioni, o penne rigate)
250g of broccoli
100g of sheep cheese
50g of crunched bread
italian olive oil
mediterranean see salt
italian (preferably Cerasuolo di Vittoria) red wine

Cut the broccoli in small bushes, and steam them for 10 minutes. In the meanwhile, cook the pasta (don't forget to put some salt in the water) and turn on the oven. You should stop cooking the pasta 2 minutes before the regular time, and put it under a cold stream of water. Once the broccoli are done, fry them in olive oil, until they tear apart, and spray them with pepper, salt and the cruched bread. Lay the pasta in an oven-dish and the broccoli on top of it, and some cheese. Make thin layers of pasta, broccoli, cheese, and add some olive oil if necessary.

Pass it in an oven at 200 degrees for 5 minutes, and serve it warm. The wine is for drinking ;)
