Provided by Messkit Maven

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb penne pasta (can be whole wheat, gluten-free, or any other kind you like)
1 small head of broccoli (cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
Zest of one lemon
⅓ cup lemon juice (from one lemon)
¼ cup basil (chiffonade)
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegan parmesan (optional, see note)

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil.
  • While you're waiting for the water to come to a boil, measure out your olive oil, mince the garlic and chiffonade the basil.
  • Once the water reaches a boil, salt the water and add the pasta.
  • Subtract 4 minutes from the pasta cooking time (see your pasta's packaging for the time). When this timer goes off, that is when you will add the broccoli to the pot.
  • When the broccoli and pasta finish, turn the heat to low and drain the water. It's OK if there is a little bit of pasta water remaining, but try to keep no more than ¼ cup.
  • Return the pot to the heat and add the olive oil, garlic, and red chili flakes and stir for about one minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the lemon zest, juice, and basil and stir to combine.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and top with desired amount of vegan parmesan.

This hearty pasta dish with bright, fresh flavor is ideal for busy weeknights. The Parmesan adds welcome saltiness and notes of umami and you get added texture from the slight crunch of broccoli and whole-wheat noodles. Add some shredded rotisserie chicken, grilled shrimp or crispy chickpeas to punch up the protein.
