I’m a huge pasta girl. Give me any type/shape of pasta and I’m happy. And when I find a recipe that’s healthy, delicious, quick and easy to make?  I’m even happier and so is my family.

I’ve always especially loved Capellini pasta or angel hair pasta. It’s so thin and easy to slurp up, which makes it dangerous . . because you can eat a lot more faster.  . but it’s so delicious! When I was living in San Francisco, I fell in love with Capellini pasta from Peppery Broccoli with Angel Hair Pasta!! Angel hair pasta, broccoli, cremini mushrooms, feta cheese and more. So good and so easy to make!

Peppery Broccoli with Angel Hair Pasta for #SundaySupper

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Main
Servings: 4 -6
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch broccoli about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 12 oz Capellini aka angel hair pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 cups cremini mushrooms; sliced
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 2 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 1-2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes depending on desired level of heat
  • 6 oz feta cheese; crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley; chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cut the broccoli tops into bite-size florets; trim and peel the stems and slice them 1/2 inch thick (about 5-6 cups total). Add the broccoli. Cook for 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to a bowl.
  • Add the angel hair to the boiling water and cook until al dente, following the package directions. Drain well and return the cooked pasta to the cooking pot.
  • In a separate non-stick pan, saute the mushrooms over medium high heat until soft and tender, for about 5 minutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, combine the chicken stock and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add the broccoli, chicken stock, and mushrooms to the drained pasta. Heat over medium heat until hot; toss together and add salt to taste. Add in the crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley and toss together one last time. Serve and enjoy!

    I am entering the giveaway. And wow, what an awesome recipe and beautiful presentation. A perfect dish with some of my very favorite flavors- yum!

    I am with you on pasta, Alice, any kind, any time, but I am most partial to linguine. I tend to overcook angel hair and it ends up in one big clump. You clearly have the timing right because yours is beautiful! I love the broccoli, mushrooms and feta as well. Yum!

    Angel hair pasta is my absolute favorite!!! My mother would never make the “regular” thick spaghetti noodles when I was a kid….and apparently I take after her because I have never bought a package of the thicker noodles for my house either!

    Annnnyway, this recipe sounds seriously great. I love the broccoli in it – such a tasty veggie! 😉

    Your description of pasta pomodoro sounds just like the one I used to have all the time at Cipriani here in buenos aires, many years ago. I´ve been meaning to make it, and it calls for capellini, which is a pasta I don´t use much. Feta and mushrooms, that sounds like the perfect alternative plan Alice! Have a great day!

      Thank you, Paula! Cheers to you my dear friend and have a wonderful Sunday! We both must make the Capellini with red sauce, fresh garlic, basil and extra virgin olive oil! 🙂

    I always have a box of angel hair pasta in my pantry. It is my husband’s choice for noodle type pasta. And since he has asked for me to make more pasta dishes without tomato sauces (heartburn issues), this is going on my to-make list.

  11. Liz

    This looks like a quick, delicious meal…perfect for a busy week night!!! Beautifully done, my friend!

    I am entering the giveaway! and excited about the #SundaySupper chat tonight – @Frogger097

    I love Past Pomodoro. Never tried their angel hair pasta, I’m a fan of the penne portobello. So good. Will have to try the pomodoro next time.

    When I was first learning to cook on my own (I could bake but a girl can’t live on cookies alone… or so it seems) this sort of pasta was my go to. I used a lot of lemon pepper, but this one is a bit more sophisticated. Thanks for the reminder recipe. Sometimes you just don’t need to drown your pasta!

      Nami,
      thank you! My girls loved this pasta (made a non-spicy version for them) . . I hope you give this a try!

    I am entering the giveaway! But also, I was about to leave a comment anyway to tell you how tasty the pasta looks!

  32. Nancy @ gottagetbaked

    Mmm…this dish looks fresh, simple and delicious, in other words, perfect for busy, hot summer weekday nights. I’m a pasta-fiend too, Alice. Scratch that – I’m a major carbo-holic. I’ll never give it up!

  37. The Ninja Baker

    Nice to meet a fellow broccoli fan! You’ve made an amazing looking pasta dish which I want to replicate, Alice…Like so many of the dishes and desserts you post =)
