What's on Siegfrieds Tabel, Pasta ai Broccoli, by Lance Ryan.

Lance Ryan is one of the most remarkable tenors before audiences today and surely THE reigning interpreter of the Wagnarian repertoire globally. His star shines as bright as the sun from La Scala to the Bayreuther Festspiele and from Covent Garden to the Metropolitan Opera, where I had the pleaser of first hearing and meeting Lance while he was singing in Ariadne auf Noxos. Lance was born and raised in British Columbia and his Canadian roots are evident. He's an unassuming, pleasant, and down to earth guy. Someone you could have a beer with and argue about hockey all night. Though a Titan in his field, his humility and person ability are astonish. An avid vegetarian, Lance shared with me one of his favourite recipes: Pasta ai Broccoli. Hope you enjoy! Mangia Mangia! dh

Head of Broccoli Pepperonciono Pasta garlic salt olive oil

Cut a head of broccoli into bite size pieces while bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water boils put broccoli in for five minutes. In the mean time heat a large pan with oil salt and at least one pepperoncino.

Take broccoli out of the water and fry it in the heated pan. You can put you're pasta directly in the boiling water to cook. Once the pasta is done drain it and continue to cook it in tha pan with the broccoli for max. 2 minutes. Add garlic and extra olive oil as desired with the pasta. Voila!
