Great recipe. I served this last night and it was a big hit. I used penne pasta and loved the idea of adding the brocolli to the pasta to cook as it turned out perfect. Marinating the meat ahead of time makes this meal tastier yet. I will definitely keep this recipe in my cookbook

Easy to make, broccoli was not overcooked. I added some freshly cracked pepper to create more interest. Used Linguine. We liked it.
