Cut broccoli into small pieces. Chop elephant head garlic into small

water. Cover lightly with plastic wrap. Cook in microwave on high for 3-5
minutes. Check for doneness. Want to keep broccoli a little crisp. While
broccoli is cooking, cook angel hair pasta until slightly firm. Drain. Melt
the stick of butter in the pan you cooked angel hair in. Add angel hair
back to pan and toss to coat pasta. Add broccoli and toss lightly. Pour
some olive oil in a small frying pan. Add chopped garlic and some crushed
red pepper. Brown garlic. Garlic will clump together when done. Pour over
pasta and broccoli. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Can add some white
pepper if desired. Toss until well mixed.
