The broccoli in this pasta sauce is a tasty and nutritious swap for the usual pesto herbs. Vegetarians and meat lovers will both enjoy this surprisingly flavorful dish!
Ingredients
12 oz. fusilli pasta
12 oz. frozen broccoli florets
2 clove garlic
1/2 c. fresh basil leaves
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. grated lemon zest
kosher salt
Toasted sliced almonds
grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, drain the pasta, and return it to the pot.
Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the broccoli, garlic, and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook on high, stirring once halfway through, until the broccoli is tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the mixture (liquid included) to a food processor. Add the basil, oil, zest, and 3/4 teaspoon salt, and purée until smooth.
Toss the pasta with the pesto and 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid (adding more liquid if the pasta seems dry). Sprinkle with almonds and Parmesan, if desired.
