Admittedly, this one isn't really very low fat, but it's definitely good for your arteries. It can be low fat, if you're careful not to use too much olive oil.
Use a non-stick pan to cook your pasta. You'll save a lot of stirring and stuck noodles. Cook pasta according to package directions. Add a few shakes of salt to boiling water before stirring in your pasta. When pasta is done strain into a colander and set aside in the sink.
Return your pasta cooking pot to the same hot burner and add 1 tbl olive oil, then your broccoli. Stir and cook broccoli for about two minutes then add garlic. Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
Once the garlic begins to really give off its aroma add back your pasta and an additional 1-3 tbls olive oil. Stir everything together and cook for a few minutes more. Add your oregano last. Stirring it in and cooking for only a minute or two. Serve piping hot sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese as a whole meal or side dish.
Make lots. Remainder keeps well in fridge and reheats well later.
Onion and pepper make a great additions.
