One Pot Pasta With Broccoli And Lemon Recipe

Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 

1 pound penne 

1 pound broccoli, head cut into florets (3 1/2 cups), stems peeled and thinly sliced (1 cup) 

1 clove garlic, finely grated 

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 

2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh juice (from 1 lemon) 

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan (1 ounce), plus more for serving 

Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook 5 minutes. Add broccoli and cook until pasta is just under al dente and broccoli is crisp-tender and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes more. Drain, then add pasta and broccoli back to pot.

Toss with garlic, oil, lemon zest and juice, and cheese. Serve, topped with more cheese.
