METHOD
1
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Drain the pasta, then drizzle with a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil to prevent it sticking and allow to cool to room temperature.
2
Heat remaining Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a pan, add the chopped garlic and cook. Add blanced broccolini, cauliflower flowerets and rapini and toss together. Add the breadcrumbs and pasta and heat through, adding a touch more Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Salt to taste and serve topped with fresh parsley and parmesan.
Maggie's Kitchen Notes:
All my recipes are cooked with a fan forced (convection) oven, increase by 20°C for conventional. My recipes use 20ml tablespoons and 5ml teaspoons, look carefully at your measuring spoons as American spoons are often on sale and they are a smaller measure. All produce are medium sized and all eggs are from an extra large carton (700g).
