Ingredients
Method
- Cook pasta according to its package. Boil broccoli separately for 5–6 minutes until tender. Reserve 150 ml pasta water before draining.
- Blend two-thirds of the broccoli with garlic, oil, lemon juice, salt and 75 ml reserved water until smooth.
- Toss pasta with sauce and remaining broccoli, adding water gradually to loosen. Toast almonds in a dry pan and scatter over the bowls.
A little note
Use a high-sided blending container to avoid splashing hot liquid.
Cooking tips
- Reserve pasta water before draining and add it in small amounts while tossing.
- Blend only the portion of broccoli specified so some florets remain for texture.
