1Handful oregano (chopped fine)
1largeHandfull flatleaf parsley (chopped fine)
1Jar (small) tomato sauce (didn't have any tomatos ripe :()
½poundsGround turkey, browned and crumbled (ok, I didn't grow this either...)

Directions

Last night, I decided to experiment with whatever was ready in the garden... all measures are approximate and from memory ;*) pour 1 T basil olive oil into hot iron skillet. toss in carrots and broc stems. when begin to glisten, add garlic and pepper. when begin to cook, add broc florets. when begin to glisten, add tomato sauce and meat. add oregano and ½ parsley and heat thoroughly. add broc greens and basil and rest of parsley. when greens have wilted, serve over pasta.

Yummy and simple. Took about 15 minutes, would probably be even better with fresh tomatoes, instead of sauce.
