Lately I've just been doing a really lazy (I hate cooking) pasta broccoli alfredo for lunch. Ragu light parmesan alfredo, ronzoni whole wheat penne noodles + a ton of broccoli. You have have a LOT for under 400 calories.

Sorry it's not really a recipe, but it's tasty either way!

Recoat pan with cooking spray. Add broccoli; stir-fry 3 minutes. Add broccoli to sweet onion. Recoat pan with cooking spray.

I think I've made it three times! It's awesome! FYI, you can go lighter on the oil and cheese and keep a serving under 200 cals.

I regularly make a very simple and quick chicken broccoli.
If I have the calories, I eat it on whole wheat rice. Otherwise, I eat it plain.

Cut & wash 1.5 heads of broccoli into florets. Cut 3 stalks celery in medium sized piece, and cut 2 carrots into thin oval slices.
Put vegetables in dry frying pan and cook on medium-high for 5 minutes or so.
Add 1 cup of chicken broth and apply lid until tender-crisp.
Enjoy!

Roast Brocolli:

Cut into small spears, toss with scant amount of olive oil and salt. Roast in hot oven (220 C) approx 20-25 minutes until some edges brown.

Variations:

Add a squeeze of lemon or some sherry vinegar. Or some grated parmesan.

Pasta with broccoli and anchovies:

Omit fried breadcrumbs to cut down on calories.

Use brocolli to bulk up any packaged meals like noodles or chicken etc to make a small meal more filling.
