One-Skillet Beef, Pasta, and Broccoli

Preparation

1. Step 1

   In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the bell pepper and onion for 3 to 4 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.

   Step 2

   Stir in the broth, beef, Worcestershire sauce, savory, and pepper. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer.

   Step 3

   Stir in the pasta. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.

   Step 4

   Stir in the broccoli. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes, or until the pasta and broccoli are tender.

2. Cook’s Tip on Savory

   Step 5

   This interesting herb is worth experimenting with. A member of the mint family, it is slightly peppery. The two most popular varieties are summer savory, which is more delicate, and winter savory, which is spicier and sharper; they are interchangeable. Try savory in bean, pea, and lentil dishes (it is called the bean herb in continental Europe), as well as in stews, marinades, soups, salads, and more.
