Fettuccine with Olives and Broccoli

1/2 pound fettuccine
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup red bell pepper, finely julienned
1 small onion, finely sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup cured black olives, sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Freshly milled black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino-Romano cheese

Method

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Cook according to package directions.

Bring a medium pot of water to boil.   Boil the broccoli for 3 -5 minutes, according to your personal taste for crunchiness. You can steam as well if you prefer.

Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, over medium heat, saute the bell peppers and onions in the oil for 5 minutes, or until limp. Stir in the olives, oregano and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in broccoli to heat.

Toss the pasta and vegetables together. Sprinkle with the Pecorino-Romano cheese.
