how can i cook broccoli like to make with pasta and noodles? and for how long?

Rinse the broccoli and put it in covered glass casserole dish and zap it in the microwave for 3 minutes. Cut up two boneless skinless chicken breasts and brown them in a bit of oil in a skillet. Make a cream sauce in the skillet with a can of cream of mushroom soup and a couple of tablespoons of sour cream, add salt pepper and garlic powder. If you have any basil add that too. Then cut up the cooked broccoli and add that in.
As that is simmering and thickening in the skillet, boil the water for the pasta. After the pasta is done, drain it and put it in a bowl, add some of the sauce from the skillet and mix it up. Then spoon the chicken, brocolli mixture on top and sprinkle with parmesean cheese. Serve with garlic bread and a green salad with tomatos and Italian dressing.

I like to steam my broccoli in the microwave for 7 minutes per head cut into 2 inch chunks. But if you don't have a steamer, you can quick cook in a pan. Place 1 head broccoli, cut as above, into a med sauce pan with a tight fitting lid. Add 1/4 c water and 1 Tbsp Butter. Replace lid and put pot over med high heat. Cook til veggie is done to your likeness, mine's about 10 minutes. Check and lower temperature if needed after 5 minutes.
 
I put about 1 to1-1/2 cups of water in a sauce pan, add some salt and butter, let it boil, then add the broccoli. Stir it so that it all cooks evenly. In about 5 minutes it will be done, but if you want it softer, you can let it go a little longer. Drain in a colander.

Here's a cool recipe you may like:

1-2 cups cooked broccoli
1 package of cooked egg noodles
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup of milk
2 tsp of crushed garlic
1 cup of chopped cooked ham
a little salt and pepper

mix it all up, over medium heat and it's great. you can adjust this recipe to make more or less easily. you can add more to it if you want to, like carrots, cauliflower, lots of things!
