Tips

  • Do not blanch the broccoli; use it raw for crunch.
  • Put all ingredients in a separate bowl before adding to the pasta noodles.
  • If you don't like pepperoni, leave it out or substitute with salami.
  • Kalamata olives are preferred over canned black sliced olives.
  • Adding crumbled feta provides a nice creaminess.
