Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz dried spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: While noodles cook, heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Add drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce and broccoli.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving.
